Yup; I much prefer it with some diced tomatoes and jalapenos. Gotta get some heat. I could go either way with onions.

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.

Re: Guacamole: Peas or no peas?
To be fair, this is based on the guacamole “recipe” at <b>ABC Cocina</b> which has been widely lambasted for years; the criticism has been unheard by the fashionable new media types that go there for lunch.
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>.

That's a good point. It never even occurred to me that the peas were part of the rice. That's not so weird. It was still new for this place though.

You are right. And the idiot mentality of the chefs who popularized "California" pizza are people like this Jean-Georges Vongerichten at ABC Cocina putting peas in shit.

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.
