Roasted tomatoes, jalapeño and lemon juice are the perfect combination of bold flavors to add to your traditional guacamole!
Oh, hello there guacamole! I’ll admit it… guacamole is my love language! Give me a bowl of guac with chips, tortillas, or heck… just a spoon and I’ll be a happy girl!
I’m personally a spicy fan, so I prefer my guac full of bold, hot flavors… but I know that’s not for everyone. I decided to put a milder twist on my bold-flavored guac I make quite often at home. Roasting the tomatoes brings out a lot of flavor that you won’t want to leave out! If you’re not a spicy fan, be sure to de-seed the jalapeño before you toss it in!
Grab some chips (or a spoon!) and enjoy a big bowl of this roasted tomato guacamole!
