00:00People think that guac needs to be one certain way and they're having it at parties you know

00:07the same way over and over again. We're gonna twist it up a little bit and try some different

00:11ones. We're gonna use store-bought pesto just put it in with the avocados and you know instantly you

00:17have guac with only two ingredients. With guac you generally want to have the herb and you want to

00:21have the garlic. Pesto has all those things built in already. Pomegranates are actually traditional

00:26in guacamole and we're gonna put some of those in and on top. I'm gonna use mint instead of

00:30cilantro and we're gonna use a blood orange. With the pesto one we took a shortcut and the

00:35store-bought pesto is already salty enough but with this one since it's more from scratch we

00:40have to make sure to add plenty of salt. By cutting the blood orange like this it actually gets us to

00:49enjoy the dramatic color and not just the flavor of it. For our third guac we're gonna do a pizza

00:54flavored guacamole. I'm gonna slice up the pepperoni so that it can get mixed in to help

00:58that pepperoni essence get into the avocado. To round out our pizza flavors I have some minced garlic

01:04here. I also have some grated Parmesan cheese and you use some dried oregano and then we have

01:09some crushed pepper flakes as well. For this one since we're going for the pizza look I'm gonna

01:17flatten it out and add a few more pepperonis on top. Pepperoni, pepperonis, pepperoni and just sprinkle

01:24up the cheese and we're good to go. Pepperoni pizza guacamole.
