So there's only 15 days until Christmas, and as a way to celebrate/apologize for being a terrible blogger I am imparting upon you my favorite recipe for guacamole.
As if that wasn't inciting enough it is inspired by Chipotle's insanely delicious/addictive guac. So if you're like me and in a remote part of the world where no Chipotle has dared to venture...this recipe will more than make due.
Maybe throw in some cherry tomato bits and you have a very festive holiday side dish!
Joyeux Noël!
The World's Most Delicious Guacamole
Ingredients:
2 ripe Hass Avocados (ripe means black skin..not green)
1/4 Red Onion, chopped
1/4 of a Lime's juice
1 Jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
2 tablespoons fresh Cilantro, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon course SaltCut the avocados in half and remove pits. Keep these saved aside for later. Scoop the green deliciousness and throw the skins out.
Mash avocado until a nice smooth consistency.
Combine all ingredients in large bowl. If you like spicy guac, throw in the seeds from the jalapeno.
Serve with tortilla chips and refrain from just eating the elixer of God with a spoon.
If you for some reason have left overs, which in my opinion is impossible as you can easily consume with one friend it in a sitting, here's some ways to keep it fresh and dandy.
Put the pits back in the guacamole. Don't ask me why but something about the pits slows the process of the avocado turning brown. Of course take them out when ready to serve.
Place a layer of plastic wrap directly over the surface of the guacamole. This will act as a barrier from the air that turns guac the ugly brown color.
Refrigerate! This one is self explanatory.
