This recipe for green pea guacamole was inspired by a recipe I found in a cookbook for recipes aimed at reducing acid reflux. If you suffer from heartburn or GERD, you know what it is like to suffer after eating something you love. I usually manage with taking about half a capful of apple cider vinegar as this helps neutralize stomach acid.

Feel free to add cilantro to this recipe, but you won’t be finding it in anything I make. I love guacamole, but I don’t love cilantro.
I have a cousin who is a pro at making guacamole. Every summer, we take a trip to the beach with about a dozen family members. Each day we’re there, a different family is in charge of making dinner. I look forward to taco night all year. There is nothing better than fresh, homemade guacamole scooped on top of a warm chicken taco or perhaps even a steak fajita salad. The addition of the peas makes my recipe a little different from my cousin’s, but mine is a lighter version which I am sure will be loved, too.
Steaming peas is a quick and easy task. It only takes about 5 minutes until they are done. You can also place the peas in a food processor to blend them with the avocado after you steam them, but this is completely optional.
