very interesting, unique and tasty for the goat cheese lover! dh was pleasantly suprized to have guac with a different flavor for his burritos! used serrano peppers, fresh parsley instead of cilantro, and added minced red onion. thanks for another keeper, sue l!

I made this last night for a gathering and it was well liked. I think , for my taste, I might go a little lighter on the goat cheese. If you LOVE goat cheese, by all means, go for it!

This recipe is such a treat. I work on one of the best goat daries in the US, so I have access to excellent chevre (Split Creek Farm). If you like guacamole, or goat cheese, or both you will love it.

Smooth, creamy, very flavorful. The red chilis provided a nice contrast, but didnt' add a lot of heat. Definite keeper.
