Guacamole with Roasted Vegetables (Edit recipe)

This 4-ingredient guacamole recipe might use very minimal ingredients, but by roasting those ingredients and combining them with buttery avocados you get an incredible smoky and complex flavor unlike any other. Plus it is quick and easy to make and, in my opinion, the best guacamole ever!

Ingredients

Process

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results
  1. Roast the whole tomatoes, whole jalapeños, and a sliced ¼ onion on a comal (flat griddle).
  2. Flip the tomatoes, jalapeños, and onion until charred all around.
  3. Place the tomatoes and jalapeños in a large bowl and cover with plastic wrap or place them in a plastic bag and close it.
  4. Let the jalapeños and tomatoes sweat in there for about 10-15 minutes. This will make peeling them much easier.
  5. Peel the charred skin from the tomatoes and the jalapeños and dice them along with the onion.
  6. In a medium bowl, mash the avocado with the back of a fork or a masher until creamy (or desired consistency).
  7. Mix the diced onion, tomatoes and jalapeños with the mashed avocado.
  8. Serve.

Notes

Let each person salt their own serving of guacamole (salting it will speed up the browning process). You can also leave the pit from the avocado in the guacamole to avoid faster browning. Use a ratio of one tomato and one jalapeño for every one avocado. For a milder guacamole, use a spoon to scoop out the veins and seeds from the inside of the chiles, where most of the heat is found. For a spicier guacamole, use 2 jalapeños for every one avocado or use serranos for extra spice. Do not use too much onion. Roasted onion develops a sweet flavor, therefore too much onion can make the guacamole taste sweet.
