Chrissy Teigen's Super Bowl Guacamole Recipe Has a Shocking Secret Ingredient

Guacamole with Chips

Chrissy Teigen's guacamole is not your normal guacamole. It has cheesy sharp cheddar bombs in every bite and she even calls it the most controversial recipe she's ever created. "Guacamole is a sacred thing to people. Adding cheese to it is kind of like when Bravo introduces a new Housewife. You want to hate her. You don’t like change. But she grows on you and, eventually, you can’t watch the show any other way."

We have to concur, Chrissy, and we also have to admit we now can't eat guac without sharp cheddar added in so thanks for that!

Chrissy Teigen's Favorite Super Bowl Party Guacamole Recipe

Ingredients

• 3 large avocados

• 3-4 Tbsp fresh lime juice, about 2 limes

• ½ tsp cayenne pepper

• ½ tsp ground cumin

• 1 cup fresh coarsely grated sharp cheddar cheese

• ¾ cup finely chopped sweet onion, about ½ medium onion

• 2 plum tomatoes, seeds/pulp removed + finely chopped

• ½ jalapeno pepper, seeded + minced

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves

• sea salt, to taste

1. Cut the avocados in half lengthwise, discard the pit and scoop the avocado flesh into a medium bowl. Add half of the lime juice, cayenne, and cumin. Mash the avocado mixture with a potato masher until chunky consistency.

2. Stir in the cheddar cheese, onion, tomatoes, jalapeno, garlic, cilantro, and the remaining lime juice. Season with salt, to taste.

3. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, pressing into the surface of the guacamole so there is no air between the guacamole and plastic. This prevents it from turning brown. Let guacamole sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before serving.
