ABOUT THE RECIPE:

These simple nibbles were such a hit at my New Year’s Day party last year, I just had to share! Using pre-made guacamole makes this Guacamole Mini-Peppers recipe super quick, but for a more customized version, use my recipe for Smoky and Spicy Guacamole (recipe below).

Makes 6 servings

2

INGREDIENTS:

12 to 16 ounces guacamole (store-bought or use the "Smoky and Spicy Guacamole" recipe below)
1 package (8 ounces) mini sweet peppers, cut in half lengthwise and seeded
½ teaspoon chili powder, plus more as needed

3

INSTRUCTIONS:

Put a heaping tablespoon of the guacamole into each pepper half. Arrange the peppers in a pleasing manner on a pretty platter. Dust with chili powder, to taste.

4

SMOKY AND SPICY GUACAMOLE

2 large ripe avocados
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 small clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
¼ teaspoon sea salt, plus more as needed
1⁄8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
