Pineapple Guacamole
If you like pineapple and you like guacamole, I promise you’re going to love my delicious pineapple guacamole recipe! This is not a traditional recipe by any means but it’s a very tasty variation of it.
Ingredients
- 4 rings of pineapple fresh
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper or chili powder
- 3 ripe avocados
- 1/2 cup onion
- 2 jalapenos
- 1/4 cup cilantro chopped
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Place the pineapple slices on a sheet tray. Season with chili powder on both sides.
- Broil or grill for 3-4 minutes on each side or until slightly charred. Remove from oven when done and let it cool. Once cooled, dice them into chunks and set aside.
- Chop the onions, jalapenos, and cilantro. Add to a mortar and pestle or bowl and smash together to release some of the juices.
- Cut each avocado in half and remove the pits. Scoop the flesh of the avocados into a bowl and mash into desired consistency. I prefer to mine chunky.
- Add the smashed onions jalapenos, cilantro and juice of 2 limes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Mix in 3/4 of the pineapple chunks. Place the rest of the pinepple on top of the finished guacamole.
- Serve with your favorite chips and enjoy!
Notes
- Avocados are one of the main ingredients, so you want to make sure that you buy nice high-quality ripe avocados. To choose ripe avocados, you can go by feel. A ripe avocado should have a fairly firm texture when you give it a light squeeze. Also, check the color– the ideal color is dark purply black. If it’s bright green, it’s likely under ripe, and if it’s fully black, it might be overripe.
- The best avocados for this recipe are Hass avocados. They have a creamy texture that is perfect for guacamole. Florida avocados are not recommended because they have a more watery texture.
- To make this kid-friendly, go easy on adding the jalapeno. You can always add more, but they can be tricky to remove once you’ve mixed them in already.
- Use fresh, ripe pineapples for best results. You can easily tell if a pineapple is ripe by smelling it and touching it. It should smell sweet and must be firm to touch– not hard and not too squishy.
- If you have leftover pineapple guacamole, store it in an airtight container and then chill it in the fridge.
