This smoky, rich guacamole gets its delicious flavor from the charred avocados, tomatoes, onion, and poblano. The fresh ingredients combine to make this one of the tastiest guacamoles you've ever had. Be sure to remove the plum tomatoes from the grill first or they'll be too soft to dice. For more heat, swap in a few grilled jalapeños or serrano peppers for the poblano. Serve the guacamole immediately after preparing it. In addition to serving the guacamole with chips, you can also try it in tacos, on a sandwich, on toast or in a salad. Garnish with cilantro.
