A Southwestern buffet just wouldn't be complete without guacamole. A

friend who grew up in San Antonio taught me to make it with roasted peppers

and tomatoes, which give it an extra-special flavor.

 

Roast the tomatoes and green pepper under a broiler. Turn on all sides

until the skins are quite blistered. Place in a paper bag, shut it, and

let steam for 30 minutes. Remove and slip off the skins. Discard the

seeds from the tomatoes and the seeds and fibers from the pepper. Chop

both fine. Cool to room temperature.

 

Just before serving, peel the avocados and mash them in a mixing

bowl. Stir in the lemon juice immediately to prevent discoloration. Stir

in the tomatoes and pepper and the remaining ingredients. Transfer to a

shallow serving bowl to serve.
