Yield: 2 cups of guacamole

Ingredients

  1. 1 poblano chile pepper
  2. 1/8 white onion
  3. 1 lime, halved
  4. 1 small link fresh chorizo, casing removed
  5. 2 avocados
  6. 2 jalapeño peppers, seeded and diced
  7. 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
  8. 1/4 cup crushed chicharrónes (fried pork rinds)
  9. Kosher salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat the broiler. Put the poblano, onion and lime on a foil-lined baking sheet. Broil, turning, until everything is charred, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer the poblano to a bowl and cover; let steam 5 minutes. Uncover and let cool, then peel off the skin and remove the stem and seeds. Transfer to a cutting board and dice. Dice the onion.
  2. Meanwhile, cook the chorizo in a large skillet over medium-high heat, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until browned, 3 to 5 minutes. 
  3. Cut the avocados in half and scoop the flesh into a bowl; smash with a fork. Fold in the chorizo, poblano, onion, jalapeños, cilantro and chicharrónes. Add the juice from the broiled lime. Season with salt.

This was an interesting twist to take something healthy and make it far less so, but man, did it taste good. Mine wasn’t quite as pretty – the chorizo turned everything slightly brown. The only suggestion I’d make is backing off on the cilantro a bit. It took over some of the other flavors.
