Luney – I’ve never roasted them beforehand, no. Sounds good though!

Confession time. Sometimes I don’t have tomatoes (or onions, for that matter) in my kitchen. Only avacados and they going over-ripe FAST so I have to deal with them. I add… salsa. >_< Salsa from a jar, not even the home-made stuff. I know, horrible. I should be shot, also, for sometimes adding sour cream or (*cringe*) just a DAB of mayo. Just a dab! Barely any at all, I swear! But the guacamole goes like hot-cakes so I guess it’s acceptable if it is popular….

Once I made I-don’t-know-how-much-but-a-lot of guacamole for a party once and I mashed up the ‘cados, diced toms, minced onion and garlic, lime (not lemon. Lime adds a certain lovely taste to it all), a dollop of sour cream, and some healthy spoonfuls of this amazing chipotle salsa. The color suffers a bit from the salsa, but the chipotle just adds this wonderful smokiness to it. I should probably add actual chipotle instead of salsa, but I don’t have any.

Have you tried oven-roasting the jalapeno beforehand? I never work with chilis, but once my mother made this amazing mango-ginger-jalapeno salsa for roast pork and boy, roasting the jalapeno beforehand made it truly nummy.
