Guacamole

I absolutely ADORE fresh guacamole!
I wasn’t kidding when I said I could literally eat a bowl of it to myself for dinner.
I have tried soooo many recipes for guacamole, it’s not funny. What I have found is that I like them more on the traditional rustic side. Larger chunks of avocado, real fresh lime juice, a fresh green chile and the unmistakable flavor of dried mexican oregano; And all of my favorite guacamole recipes generally start with a flavor base that you add to the smashed avocado’s a little at a time, so you can control your desired flavor and heat level. It also brings out a more intense fresh, bright flavor to your guacamole.
This really is a mixture of all my favorite elements to create MY PERFECT GUACAMOLE!!
As I fore mentioned, this guacamole is so good that you can eat it on it’s own, or use it as a dip with some pork rinds or Quest protein chips, but my favorite way of utilizing this recipe is by putting a good healthy dollop on top of some eggs (fried or scrambled) for breakfast.

INGREDIENTS:

• 4 avocados
• 3 limes(juiced)
• 2 roma tomatoes(diced, keep the seeds in)
• 1 white onion(1/2 cut into 3 chunks, the other 1/2 into fine dice)
• 1 serrano chile(cut into 3 pieces)
• 1 garlic clove(roughly chopped)
• 1/3 cup fresh cilantro + extra for garnish
• pinch of dried mexican oregano
• pinch of salt (we use Redmond’s Real Salt)

INSTRUCTIONS:

• Place lime juice, fresh cilantro, serrano chile, garlic and the 3 chunks of onion into a blender. Blend until it becomes a puree. This will be our flavor base for the guacamole.
• Cut and deseed the avocados, place into a medium sized mixing bowl with a pinch of salt and a pinch of the mexican oregano.
• With a whisk or a potato masher, gently smash the avocados. We still want them quite chunky.
• Add in about 4 TBSP of the flavor base to the guacamole, and gently fold in to flavor. My personal preference is 6 TBSP.
• Now add in the chopped tomatoes, diced onion and a little extra cilantro. Again gently fold in to combine.
• Taste for seasoning, probably an extra pinch of salt, because avocados love salt.
• ENJOY!!
