Sweet & Spicy Strawberry Peach Guacamole

Hi Friends!

Happy Monday! Hope everyone had a fantastic weekend! Let me give you a quick recap of mine. I barely touched my computer all weekend. Which explains why last night I had 150 unread posts in my google reader.

Instead, I did some other fun things:

weekend

We had a garage sale all day Friday
We went out for happy hour drinks with friends
We stayed out for post-happy hour drinks with friends
We took lots of fun pictures in the sunbeam that was shining on our table
We had a garage sale all day Saturday
We found a garage sale mascot
We brought the boys out into the garage to hang with us
We had a cookout with my in-laws
I played with all the photography apps I have on my phone
We rode our bikes to get coffe on Sunday morning
I discovered the blur function on instagram
We donated all our garage sale leftovers to charity
I made a menu plan for the week for the first time in about a year
We played in our Sunday night sand volleyball league
And we won 🙂

Oh, and then this happened:

Sweet & Spicy Strawberry Peach Guacamole - Add some sweet mix-ins and spices to your next batch of guacamole for a fun appetizer or snack!

Yep…I put fruit in my guac. And I’m in love. Here are the recipes that inspired last night’s dinner:

recipeI had ripe avocados…and I snagged a container of strawberries while we were out running errands on Sunday…but I also bought my first bag of peaches of the season! SO PUMPED. They’re my favorite fruit. Then, when I got home and tried to make the salsa, the avocados were too ripe. So I made guacamole instead. And since I was planning to put goat cheese in my quesadillas…and fruit goes well with goat cheese, I just went ahead and threw some strawberries and peaches into the guac!

So basically, use your favorite guac recipe, add fruit and voila!

As you can see, this isn’t so much a recipe as a summer guac modification!

Before we went to volleyball, I sauteed some onion, garlic, red and green peppers and black beans in a large pan with some cayenne pepper and paprika. I diced a sweet potato and microwaved it for 1 minute before adding it to the mix. Then I stuck the mixture in the fridge. When we got home, I pulled out the veggies, scooped them into tortillas with some mexican cheese and some goat cheese and tossed them on the George Foreman. When the cheese was melted, I topped them with guac and dug in! SOOOO GOOD!

The perfect summer weeknight din!

    That is SUCH a good idea — I love making guac but never thought to add fruit! And I always have salad with avacado and strawberries in the summer but yet I still never thought to marry the two flavors in guac! Love it.

    PS. really glad you chose to disconnect this weekend, it is SO needed now and then, right??

    YUM! Strawberries and peaches are my two favorite fruits. The quesadillas sound awesome too. Can’t wait to give them both a try Friday night for a summer gathering 🙂

    I kind of can’t believe I’ve never thought to put fruit in my guac considering all the other modifications I’ve made to it before! Genius, Lindsay!

    I’m so weird about fruit being mixed into things…I have this problem with fruit on salad too. I love everything separate! But, my love for avocados, strawberries, peaches and your review might just make me do it:)

    What a fun idea – fruit + guacamole. I made a really basic one this weekend (really basic – mixed with salsa) — I obviously should have been more creative. 🙂

    Now that sounds like a fun weekend, Lindsay! Except maybe the garage sale part. I’m pretty horrible at that 😉
    I have never ever even thought of making guac sweet. Hmmm…I’m making guac tonight, maybe I should experiment 🙂

    This looks so yummy! Have you tried mangoes in your guac? We add it to the salsa and then mix it together. I love summer and all that fresh (and inexpensive) fruit!

    I stumbled upon this recipe while searching for something new to try, and I’m so happy I did! The mixture of candy strawberries, juicy peaches, and creamy avocado in this guacamole is divine. It’s ended up a staple in my summertime gatherings, and everyone and sundry constantly asks for the recipe. Thank you for sharing this scrumptious and special twist on guacamole.
