I've had it with diced tomatoes and enjoyed that too.

Re: Guacamole: Peas or no peas?
I've never had peas in guacamole, and I hope I never will, but I did grab a burrito from my favorite little authentic Mexican hole-in-the-wall (a rarity in New England to be sure) and there were peas in the burrito! I rarely get their burrito as the tacos are much better, but I don't remember ever seeing peas in it before. Hopefully this isn't becoming a trend.

It's not like the NYT is saying that peas are a regular guac ingredient. Instead, they are a "radical move" and a "tweak upon a classic."

Disregard it, and NYT's poor judgment in publishing this idiocy.
Pete Wells, at least, didn't even mention the guac in <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2013/07/31/dining/reviews/restaurant-review-abc-cocina-in-manhattan.html?_r=0">his review</a>.

Which, of course, brings us back to the OP.

Well, looking at the actual article, no one ever tried to pass this off as traditional guac. I'm not seeing what the big deal is, but then California style is my favorite kind of pizza (I happen to like toppings like goat cheese and roasted asparagus. ) :-)

As flip as my original reply was, I'm 110% in favor of chefs -- particularly chefs as talented as this one -- putting together new flavor combinations. Peas and sunflower seeds don't say guac to me, but given the pedigree of the dish, im sure it's well thought out and probably tastes delicious.

Orwellian conspiracy theory...
California drought. Avocado price increase and shortage. Real guacamole has always had peas in it. It's delicious. Next year...guacamole is peas. It's always been 100% peas. You will love it. What's an avocado?

Buncha do about nothing but peas can offset the heartburn people get from pure guacamole.

The only Chipotles here in Brooklyn are by downtown by the courts. There's like three of them in the entire borough.
