You haven't lived until you've tried this Loaded Roasted Chile Guacamole filled with charred, spicy peppers. It's the king of guacamole.
Hey, there.
Baby's due in a little over a week, and all I've wanted to do lately is sit on the couch with a big bowl of something. What that "something" is changes by the hour. Sometimes it's watermelon. Or fresh pineapple. Or ice cream. Or THIS guacamole and a big bag of chips.
I heart guacamole a whole bunch. I love both my classic version and my lazy version. When I tried this chunky, roasted chile guacamole, I knew it wasn't going to last long when the rest of the family started eating on it.
When I shopped for chiles this last time my grocery store's selection was abysmal. Usually I can get some New Mexico or poblano chiles, but all they had was jalapenos and yellow chiles. I grabbed two yellow chiles, two jalapenos, and a red jalapeno.
Roasting the chiles tames their heat, but not completely. This was a lot spicier than I had intended, but it was SOOO good. I'm pretty sure it hit my threshold of heat -- my nose runs a little, but I'm not in any pain yet. And I can still taste my food.
You can totally customize it and make it as spicy as you want. If you want a more mild chile, use New Mexico chiles or even bell peppers.
This did not last long. I totally should have stashed this one in the back of the fridge for an afternoon "snack" the next day.
If you're feeling ambitious, whip some of this up and eat it with some Chile-Lime Fish Taco Bowls or in a taco with Slow Cooker Chipotle Shredded Beef!
If you make one of my recipes, I'd love to see! Post it on social media and tag me at @perrysplate or #perrysplate so I can send you some love!
Loaded Roasted Chile Guacamole
You haven't lived until you've tried this Loaded Roasted Chile Guacamole filled with charred, spicy peppers. It's the king of guacamole.
Ingredients
- 3 large or 5 small fresh chiles (any kind)
- 1 medium lime
- 3 medium ripe avocados, pitted and peeled
- 3 green onions, chopped
- ⅓ cup chopped fresh cilantro
- ¼ teaspoon ground cumin
- salt
- ½ cup medium-diced fresh tomato
- 2 radishes, sliced
- fresh veggie sticks or veggie chips, for serving
Instructions
- Roast chiles under an oven broiler, on a grill, or directly on a gas burner. Turn occasionally until outside of pepper is covered in black, charred spots. This should take 8-10 minutes.
- When chiles are roasted, place in a bowl, cover, and set aside to steam for a few minutes. When cool enough to handle, peel, seed, and chop the chiles. (The skin should be easy to remove if you make sure to let them steam.)
- Zest and juice the lime into a medium bowl. Add avocado and coarsely mash.
- Stir in the scallions, cilantro, cumin, and salt. Season to taste with salt and lime juice. Fold in the tomatoes and roasted chiles.
- Transfer to a serving bowl and top with sliced radishes.

I love guacamole and have a couple avocados on hand at the mount, so am going to give it a try. Thanks for the great recipe. I am sure this is a thrilling and anxious time for you waiting for your beautiful new baby to make their appearance. Blessings for this time of anticipation.

I would have no trouble consuming the whole bowl of this by myself, with a spoon. Looks wonderful! And only a week left? Wow, time has zoomed by. Best of luck and many blessings to you! xo
Natalie says
Thanks Cassie! It's actually gone by sort of fast for me, too. (luckily...)
Bev @ Bev Cooks says
Just a week left?! Whuuuut! Just eat this guac every day until he/she (?) gets here and your heart will sing.
Julia {The Roasted Root} says
Can't believe she's only one week away!!! Very exciting! And I love your taste in guac...this needs to be in every burrito and on every chip I eat...forever!
Natalie says
I know! Me either! How are you liking Sonoma?
Kristin says
This looks extremely delicious! Thank you!
Joanne says
(a) I totally don't know how you're still posting and/or cooking ANYTHING if you're due in a week. I'd be eating all the ice cream I could get my hands on!
(b) This guac would be a close second to all that ice cream! Love it.
Natalie says
Oh it's nesting. :) Before 3PM I feel like cleaning my whole house and painting all the rooms again. After 3PM I'm basically a lump on the couch. Or on Facebook.

Lindsey says
Can't wait to to try this, though I love your other guacamole recipe. :) I've made it a bunch and love it every time. P.S. SO excited that your little one is almost here (or maybe here already...it's been a few days). :) How in the world are you still acting so normal?
Mary Hammond says
I remembered this recipe while grocery shopping, I can't wait to get home and try it out.
Cara says
Since I'm reading this 5 days late, I wonder where you are? Holding a new baby or another big bowl of this incredible sounding guac? (Either way sounds good to me!)
Gwen @SimplyHealthyFamily says
I could eat guacamole for bfast, lunch and dinner!
