It’s always fun to get a little creative with food for a party. Try this spicy twist on a classic guacamole recipe at your next get-together.
One of my favorite dishes to prepare is guacamole. It’s quick, easy and there are so many variations you can try! For this recipe, I sautéed the onions, chile peppers and garlic. I really like the slightly roasted flavor it adds to the guacamole, and it results in a more mild flavor of onion and garlic.

Add in a little crumbled feta cheese and smoked paprika for some added smoky flavor with the salty bite of the cheese.
