Bite Ya Back Guacamole Recipe

I entered the following guacamole recipe in the contest too, so may the best dip win! My husband is the spicy king, and he couldn’t wait to taste this batch of Bite Ya Back Guacamole which permeated my kitchen this morning with spiciness and tears of Scoville joy!

Scoville is the “hotness” measurement for how spicy peppers or hot foods are. Not only does this guacamole recipe contain one whole jalapeno pepper (2,500-5,000 Scoville Heat Units), but it also has a whole Serrano pepper (6,000-23,000 Scoville Heat Units) as well. Talk about heat – your chips just might run away from this spicy dip!

Without further ado, feast your eyes upon our Bite Ya Back Guacamole recipe and make it – if you dare…
