The sweetness of figs and the spiciness of chili flakes up the ante on the buttery avocado and, therefore, lends a ton of flavor to this guacamole. Plus, kids love the added texture of the chewy figs. This makes for a great afternoon snack, pre-dinner dip, or side dish.

This recipe yields 8 servings. 

Directions

1. In a large bowl add chopped avocados, lime juice, chili flakes, salt, and chopped figs. Mix lightly until everything is combined. 

2. Serve in a chilled bowl. Top with extra chili flakes and extra dried fig pieces. Enjoy!

Tips

*The flesh of a cut avocado can turn brown due to oxidation, which happens when the fruit's enzymes are exposed to oxygen. We keep our guacamole tightly covered in the fridge to prolong the browning. 
*If you want to turn up the spice, add 1 teaspoon of cayenne pepper.
