The Espelette pepper and béchamel make this recipe decidedly different. The béchamel adds a light creaminess to the guacamole, and the Espelette pepper adds a sweet, smoky flavor, and the combination is delicious.

Notes

Espelette chilis were introduced into France during the 16th century. The powder has become popular as a condiment, and a cornerstone of Basque cooking, It is only mildly hot and brings a slightly sweet, smoky moderate heat to recipes.

Substitute hot paprika is you cannot find Espelette pepper powder.
