00:03 People think that guac needs to be one certain way

00:05 and they're having it at parties, you know,

00:07 the same way over and over again.

00:08 We're gonna twist it up a little bit

00:10 and try some different ones.

00:12 We're gonna use store-bought pesto.

00:13 Just put it in with the avocados and, you know,

00:16 instantly you have guac with only two ingredients.

00:18 With guac, you generally wanna have the herb

00:21 and you wanna have the garlic.

00:22 Pesto has all those things built in already.

00:24 Pomegranates are actually traditional in guacamole

00:27 and we're gonna put some of those in and on top.

00:29 I'm gonna use mint instead of cilantro

00:31 and we're gonna use a blood orange.

00:33 With the pesto one, we took a shortcut

00:35 and the store-bought pesto is already salty enough.

00:37 But with this one, since it's more from scratch,

00:39 we have to make sure to add plenty of salt.

00:41 (upbeat music)

00:44 By cutting the blood orange like this,

00:47 it actually gets us to enjoy the dramatic color

00:50 and not just the flavor of it.

00:51 For our third guac,

00:52 we're gonna do a pizza-flavored guacamole.

00:55 I'm gonna slice up the pepperoni so that it can get mixed in

00:58 to help that pepperoni essence get into the avocado.

01:01 To round out our pizza flavors,

01:02 I have some minced garlic here.

01:04 I also have some grated Parmesan cheese.

01:06 I'm gonna use some dried oregano

01:08 and then we have some crushed pepper flakes as well.

01:13 For this one, since we're going for the pizza look,

01:17 I'm gonna flatten it out

01:18 and add a few more pepperonis on top.

01:20 Pepperoni, pepperonis, pepperoni.

01:23 And just a sprinkle of cheese and we're good to go.

01:27 Pepperoni pizza guacamole.
