When it comes to food, I have an addictive personality. Set a bowl of tortilla chips in front of me, and watch them vanish before your eyes. This is especially true since going Gluten Free, where one of my only sources of pure carbs comes from the crunchy, salty goodness of tortilla chips. I try to only eat them a few times a week because of this, but when combined with Mexican appetizers like Cheese dip or Guacamole, all strength of resistance fails me.
A combination of cheese and avocados sounds heavenly, doesn’t it? For me, it’s the stronger the cheese the better, making the thought of Blue Cheese Guacamole something that had to become a reality!
This recipe is so simple, yet something that you could make for guests, as well – perhaps for a taco themed evening? It makes two cups, so double it if you’re thinking of inviting more than a few!
Blue Cheese Guacamole
- 2 Large, Room Temperature Avocados – cut into small pieces
- Juice of 1 Lime
- 1/4 Cup Blue Cheese at Room Temperature – crumbled
- Handful of Jalapeno Peppers – diced
- 1 Roma Tomato – diced (optional)
- 1 Tbsp. Onion Powder
- 1 Tbsp. chopped Cilantro
- 1 Tbsp. Cumin
- Salt and Pepper to Taste (I tend to be heavy handed with this)
Combine everything and mash to desired consistency – simple as that!
I’ve never thought of adding cheese to guacamole, it’ a great idea.
It adds just the right amount of “kick!”
I am definitely giving this recipe a try! The pairing of the two just sounds out of this world.
Sounds yum! I might give this a try. Feel free to share this and other posts at Real Food 101. http://www.ruthsrealfood.com/2011/11/real-food-101-nov-21-2011.html
Two things I love and I would of never thought to combine them till I read this!
Great idea ; ) Thanks for sharing.
