The Boulders Resort's Goat Cheese Guacamole is a gourmet twist on a classic Mexican dip, made with creamy avocado, tangy goat cheese, and smoky roasted poblano pepper. This recipe was created by the chefs at the Boulders Resort in Scottsdale, Arizona, and is a favorite among their guests. This guacamole is perfect as an appetizer or snack, served with tortilla chips, pita bread, or sliced vegetables. It's easy to make and can be customized to suit your taste preferences.

Instructions

1.	Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2.	Cut the poblano pepper in half, remove the seeds, and place it on a baking sheet. Roast for 10-15 minutes, until the skin is blackened and the flesh is soft.
3.	Remove the pepper from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Once it's cool enough to handle, peel off the blackened skin.
4.	In a medium bowl, mash the avocado with a fork until it's smooth, but still slightly chunky.
5.	Crumble the goat cheese into the bowl with the avocado and mix until well combined.
6.	Add the roasted poblano pepper, cilantro, garlic, lime juice, salt, and pepper to the bowl. Mix everything together until it's evenly distributed.
7.	Taste the guacamole and adjust the seasoning as needed.
