Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 whole Hass avocados
- 1 whole Roma tomato
- 1 whole Jalapeño pepper
- 0.5 whole Red onion
- 2 whole Garlic cloves
- 1 whole Lime
- 0.25 cups Fresh cilantro
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoons Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons Kosher salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat a grill pan or outdoor grill to medium-high heat.
Slice the Roma tomato and jalapeño pepper in half lengthwise, and peel the outer skin from the red onion half. Remove the garlic cloves from their skins.
Place the tomato, jalapeño, onion, and garlic cloves on the grill. Char them for 5–7 minutes, turning occasionally, until lightly blackened and softened.
Remove the charred vegetables from the grill and let them cool slightly. Finely chop the charred tomato, jalapeño, and onion. Smash the grilled garlic cloves into a paste using the side of a knife.
Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a large mixing bowl. Mash the avocados with a fork, leaving some chunks for texture.
Add the chopped vegetables, garlic paste, lime juice (squeeze from the lime), fresh cilantro, ground cumin, smoked paprika, kosher salt, and black pepper to the bowl with the avocados.
Stir everything together until combined and taste for seasoning, adjusting salt or lime juice as needed.
Serve the smoky guacamole immediately with tortilla chips, or cover with plastic wrap pressed directly onto the surface to prevent browning if storing.
