Ingredients
2 habanero peppers 4 ripe, Fresh California Avocado, seeded, peeled and coarsely mashed 1 Tbsp. lime juice 1 cup ripe mango, diced 1 cup fresh pineapple, finely diced 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut, toasted, optional 1/2 tsp. sea salt, or to tasteInstructions
- Roast or grill habanero peppers until blistered all over, turning when the top side is blackened. (Roast in oven at 400 degrees F, on a grill or stovetop.) Cover and let cool for 5 minutes, then carefully remove blistered skin. Remove stems and seeds, then cut in a small dice and set aside.
- Gently combine the avocados, lime juice, mango, pineapple and coconut (if using). Stir in half the habaneros and let rest for about 5 minutes for the heat of the habanero to combine with the other flavors.
- Taste, then season with salt. Stir in the remaining habanero if desired, or offer alongside the guacamole for those who like it extra hot!
Serving Suggestion: Serve with fried plantain chips.
Beverage Pairing: A fruity rum drink.
*Large avocados are recommended for this recipe. A large avocado averages about 8 ounces. If using smaller or larger size avocados adjust the quantity accordingly.
