In honor of Cinco de drinko Mayo I give you the bommmmbest guac recipe on the block. We can all thank my cousin who is basically the 30-something Ina Garten for this one.
Also, may I suggest these cucumber jalapeno margaritas? If you start infusing the tequila today it will be ready just in time for the festivities!
HOW TO: Guacamole
You will need:
3 ripe avocados, diced (I prefer Haas avocados)
1/3 cup white onion, chopped
1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves, coarsely chopped
1 jalapeno, seeded and minced (if you prefer it spicier add 1.5-2 jalapenos)
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice (or more if you like it limey which I do)
Salt to taste (be generous as salt really brings out the flavor of the avocados)
1. Halve and pit the avocados. Scoop out the flesh with a tablespoon into a mixing bowl. Dice and mash the avocados with a fork.
2. Add the remaining ingredients, fold everything together and mix gently.
3. Lay a piece of plastic wrap right on the surface of the guacamole so it doesn’t brown and refrigerate for about an hour before serving.

I could eat chips and guacamole every day for the rest of my life.
It’s no my recipe for guacamole, I ama guatemalan, so here we do not put jalapeño, and sometimes we use oregano.. but still i love mexican guacamole with jalapeño!

The most common recipe also involved diced tomatoes. I’m not a huge fan of tomatoes but it tastes great on guacamole.
Tried the hummus…deelisb! It’s now a staple in our house and my 11 month old son can’t get enough! Thanks!
