Guacamole Recipe


Guacamole Recipe

Rosa Mexicano Guacamole
INGREDIENTS:
1 tablespoon salt
1 cup chopped onion
2 tablespoons chopped, seeded jalapeños
3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves
6 ripe Hass avocados
3/4 cup chopped, seeded tomatoes (discard juice)
Tortilla chips, for serving
1. Place 1 tablespoon salt, 1/3 cup of the chopped onion and 1 tablespoon each of the jalapeños and the cilantro in a pile on a cutting board. Finely mince the mixture until it resembles a juicy paste, using the side of a wide knife to smash and crush the ingredients as you mince them. Place mixture in a bowl.

2. Halve the avocados and remove the pits. Holding an avocado half in the cup of your hand and using a small knife, slice it into 1/8-inch strips lengthwise and crosswise without slicing through the skin. Use a spoon to scoop the avocado out of the peel and into the bowl. Mix the ingredients together without mashing them, leaving the avocado firm, not mushy.

3. Add the remaining onion, jalapeños and cilantro along with the tomatoes; season to taste with salt. Fold the ingredients together gently. Serve immediately with tortilla chips.
