Grilled Pineapple Guacamole

Give your favorite guacamole a tropical twist by adding deliciously sweet, smoky grilled pineapple!

If there’s one snack I love in the summertime, it’s a big, mounding bowl of fresh guacamole and a pile of tortilla chips! Add an ice cold margarita, and now we’re talkin’. Add smoky, sweet grilled pineapple chunks to the guacamole and you have my. full. attention.

Whoa, mama.

This fabulous recipe from Foodie Bride, which I adapted to use a grill pan, kicks guacamole up a major notch! Tossing in some sweetness and added texture makes an already good guacamole recipe GREAT, and even if you’re skeptical one tortilla-full will have you convinced! Or, taco full. Or, let’s just say a heaping mouthful. No time for tacos.

Grab a margarita, a couple of friends who like to share, and a handful of ingredients to try this tasty spin on everyone’s favorite summertime snack! It’s fresh and easy, a little spicy and full of flavor!
