If there is one food I could eat for the rest of my life, it would be chips & dip. Hands down. Especially guacamole. I love\u00a0a chunky guacamole, with loads of tomatoes and cilantro, just like Alton Brown taught me to make. One problem.. my husband hates cilantro \ud83d\ude41 Some people have an allergy where cilantro tastes like soap. My poor husband is one of these people. We often clash on the subject of cilantro when I’m cooking dinner, so I have learned to work around it. If you think about it, a lot of the flavors in guacamole are found in Italian cooking; tomatoes, onions, garlic, and what herb goes better with those flavors than thyme? It’s thyme for guacamole \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

When I first told my husband I was going to make a guacamole with thyme instead of cilantro, he said.. “interesting”.\u00a0<\/em>Interesting yes, but thyme is a relative of the oregano family, which is very common in most guacamole recipes. I knew it could work, and because I am using tomato and thyme together, I decided to pair this with a cold brew of\u00a0Colombia Santana el Bols\u00f3n. Coffee and chips? Why not!<\/p>\n

Colombia Santana el Bols\u00f3n makes an incredible cold brew. It’s juicy, it’s savory, it’s herbaceous, and when paired with this guacamole and lime tortilla chips, it makes that acidity pop!<\/p>\n

As usual, I was inspired by Alton Brown, so I decided to use his guacamole recipe as a jumping off point. I increased the amount of tomatoes, and I used fresh peppers from my garden in lieu of \u00a0the jalape\u00f1o. I also decreased the amount of lime juice and swapped thyme for the cilantro. Just a few minor tweaks to perfectly tailor this guacamole with the coffee.<\/p>\n
