Pineapple-Black Bean Guacamole


I've never met a guacamole I didn't like.

Until I tried this recipe.  And now, no other guacamole can hold a candle to this one.

Yeah, it's that good.  I mean really.

I first sampled it on our Memorial weekend lake excursion.  The lovely hostess had found the recipe in her Better Homes and Gardens magazine!

Thank goodness for technology that scans and prints.

And really lovely hostesses that make copies and good food.

Anyway.

We had a BBQ to attend this weekend, and I knew exactly what to bring....



Pineapple-Black Bean Guacamole
~Better Homes and Gardens, May 2012~

2 medium avocados (halved, seeded, and peeled)
1/4 cup bottled green salsa (salsa verde)
1 Tbsp. sour cream
1/2 cup finely chopped fresh pineapple or canned crushed pineapple, drained
1/2 cup canned black beans (rinsed and drained)
1 fresh jalapeno pepper (seeded and minced)
2 Tbsp. finely chopped red onion
2 Tbsp. chopped fresh cilantro
1 Tbsp. minced garlic
1 Tbsp. lime juice
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. ground cumin
1/4 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese to sprinkle on top
additional cilantro to garnish
tortilla chips

In a large bowl, mash avocados.  Stir in salsa and sour cream until combined.  Add all other ingredients, stirring well.  Cover and chill for two hours or until ready to serve.  Sprinkle cheese on top and garnish with cilantro.  Serve with tortilla chips.  Makes 18 (2 Tbsp.) servings.

Just a warning....

You might eat the entire bowl by yourself.  

Be prepared for an intervention. Or a fight - if someone tries to snatch the bowl from you.

Don't say I didn't warn you.

  1. Sounds like a good combination - I would never have thought of adding pineapple.
    I found you via Melt in Your Mouth Monday. I linked up a simple egg salad sandwich filling.

    Have a super week.

  8. Pineapple? Wow, I'd never have thought to put it in guac. Then again I'd never thought to put it on pizza but that is pretty good too!
