Ingredients:

Instructions:

1. Thaw Peas: Start by thawing the frozen peas. Place them in a strainer and run hot water over them until they turn bright green.

2. Puree Peas: In a food processor, puree the thawed peas until smooth.

3. Blend with Avocado: Add 1/4 of a Hass avocado (about a quarter of the avocado), salt, and the juice of one lemon or lime to the pureed peas. Blend again until well combined and smooth.

4. Transfer to Bowl: Once blended, transfer the mixture into a serving bowl.

5. Mash Avocado: Take the remaining avocado and coarsely mash it, leaving some chunks for texture.

6. Combine Ingredients: Stir in the coarsely mashed avocado with the pureed mixture in the bowl. Add diced tomatoes and finely chopped onion.

7. Adjust Seasoning: Taste the guacamole and adjust the seasoning as needed, adding more salt or lemon/lime juice according to your preference.

8. Add Cilantro: Finally, stir in chopped cilantro to enhance the flavor and freshness of the guacamole.

9. Serve: Serve the mock-a-mole immediately with your favorite chips, crackers, or veggies for dipping.

This inventive twist on classic guacamole not only reduces the fat content but also adds a delightful sweetness and texture from the peas, making it a healthier and equally delicious option for any gathering or snack time indulgence. Enjoy the vibrant flavors of the Southwest in this guilt-free dip! 🌶️🥑
