INSTRUCTIONS

1 Place diced red onions, cilantro, garlic cloves, 1/2 teaspoon salt and Crushed Jalapeño Pepper in molcajete or large mortar and pestle. Crush and blend ingredients together to release flavors and juices, until a chunky paste forms. (If you don’t have a molcajete or mortar and pestle, you can do this in a plastic bag with a rolling pin to get the same effect.)
2 Place avocados, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and lime juice in large bowl. Mash until your desired consistency is reached. Stir in diced tomatoes and red onion mixture, mixing until well combined. Add additional salt to taste, as needed.
3 For the Baguette Crisps, preheat oven to 350°F. Cut baguette into 1/2-inch thick slices and arrange in a single layer on a large rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and Crushed Jalapeño Pepper, tossing until each slice is well coated.
4 Bake baguette crisps 10 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown and crunchy.
5 Spoon guacamole to a serving bowl and top with additional cilantro and Crushed Jalapeño Pepper. Serve with Jalapeño Baguette Crisps for dipping.
