Here in Texas, a Super Bowl party's not a party without great food, and one of our favorite snacking staples is guacamole! Almost every Super Bowl party I've ever attended has had a crock pot of queso and a large bowl of scrumptious guacamole there, prepared for munching. So of course, I have several wonderful guacamole recipes up my sleeve, ready to whip up, whenever I'm in need of some serious party food.
If you've got a prize guacamole recipe too, then you should check out Avocados from Mexico on Facebook and enter to win the amazing contest they have going on right now.

Here's the recipe I submitted for the Avocados from Mexico Guac Off Recipe Contest:
Roasted Garlic, Poblano and Red Pepper Guacamole
Ingredients:
- 6 garlic cloves, unpeeled
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 1 medium poblano pepper
- 1/4 cup finely chopped green onions
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
- 2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 ripe peeled avocado, seeded and coarsely mashed
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
- Wrap garlic cloves in foil. Bake for 15 minutes or until soft. Let cool lightly; remove skins. Place garlic in a medium bowl; mash with a fork.
- Preheat broiler.
- Cut peppers in half lengthwise; discard seeds and membranes. Place pepper halves, skin sides up, on a foil-lined baking sheet; flatten with hand. Broil 15 minutes or until blackened, turning frequently. Place in a zip-top plastic bag; seal. Let stand 10 minutes. Peel and finely chop. Add peppers, onions, and next 4 ingredients (through avocado) to mashed garlic; stir well.
STORING: Press plastic wrap against surface of guacamole to keep it from oxidizing and turning brown.
