The California Avocado Commission and the San Diego Charger Girls from Avocado Country are teaming up to share the Girls' ultimate Super Bowl guacamole recipe. Super Bowl is one of the most popular times of the year for California avocados, which add luxurious texture and lively color while transforming otherwise ordinary dishes into irresistible fare.

The San Diego Charger Girls are fans of California avocados and know a thing or two about entertaining football fans. "The best Super Bowl parties are those that have the best party foods and the best party foods include California avocados," said San Diego Charger Girl Lisa Simmons. "It's easy to add extra kick to ordinary party foods simply by adding California avocado slices. We add them on top of chili, nachos and hamburgers or inside quesadillas."

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees and line a baking sheet with foil, coat with cooking spray
  2. Toss chili and onion pieces with oil in large bowl, then spread single layer on prepared baking sheet
  3. Roast for 15-20 minutes, until vegetables are lightly browned
  4. When cool, peel chilies if desired, and chop chilies and onion finely. Set aside
  5. In large mixing bowl, coarsely mash avocados with lime juice
  6. Stir in chopped roasted chilies and onion, salsa, and cilantro
  7. Season to taste with salt and pepper
  8. Transfer guacamole to serving bowl and serve with colorful tortilla chips

Guacamole is a must-have at Super Bowl parties and simple to make with California avocados, tomatoes, onion, cilantro and a bit of lime juice. Or try the Charger Girls' favorite guacamole recipe, which features roasted onion and chilis.

Americans double their average daily snack food consumption on Super Bowl Sunday on foods including avocados, tortilla chips, potato chips, pretzels, and popcorn.
