As I mentioned last week, I was able to attend evo conference. I was able to attend a fun dinner sponsored by the California Avocado Commission that included quite possibly the most delicious avocados I have ever eaten in my life. (I brought some home with me.)
Before a cooking demo by THE Too Hot Tamales, we all participated in a bit of good-natured competition in the form of an Iron Chef-like Guacamole Fest.

All the guac after judging. |
We were directed to a long table with a crazy mix of ingredients to choose from to make a unique guacamole that the judges would go wild over. There was everything from pine nuts to ponzu sauce to chile peppers to diced fruit.
I was in a fun group of ladies that included my friend Allison and a new friend, Carissa.
Carissa deemed our guac “Wacky Guac-y.” I asked the group if they’d be up for a sweet guacamole–inspired by my husband’s Brazilian roots. In Brazil, they don’t like their avocados salty or spicy. He usually eats them with lemon and sugar.
We added a little diced fruit, then decided we need some heat. In went some diced jalapeno and minced shallot. Then I added a good dose of sugar and fresh lime juice. For crunch we added pine nuts. And because Carissa loves rice wine vinegar so much (who doesn’t?) we sprinkled a bit on top along with sea salt, and gave the judges instructions to dip their guac-topped chip into the little bowl of vinegar. It sounds a little strange, but it was surprisingly good.
We didn’t win, sadly. But we sure did make a good guacamole. I’ll tell you more about the dinner another day because today it’s all about this Fruity Guacamole, and the dinner deserves its own post.
I came home with a few California avocados–Hass avocados to be exact. I wanted to make the recipe again for my family and see what they thought.
They thought is was wacky, but I think they enjoyed it. My kids especially loved the crispy cinnamon and sugar tortilla chips I made to go with it. I figured we needed some sweet chips to go with the fruity guacamole. I ate mine with corn chips and it was just fine. Actually, I ate it with a spoon and it was fine.
So if you’re daring, you’ll have to give this a try and check out all of the other recipes from the other gals at the dinner. See below for the links to their sites.
