Cociñero: Rosie from Hayward

This guacamole appetizer recipe also works great as an addition to most traditional Mexican foods. It is a very authentic Mexican appetizer recipe. The garlic, lime and chiles combine to make an exciting guacamole you will be sure to enjoy.

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 finely chopped small sweet onion
  • 1 fresh hot spicy green chile, stemmed, seeded and very finely chopped
  • 1 medium-large tomato, stemmed, seeded and very finely chopped
  • 1 finely chopped clove of garlic
  • 10 fresh chopped cilantro sprigs
  • 3 ripe, peeled and pitted avocados
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Juice from 1/2 of a lime

Instructions:

To make this appetizer mix the onion, chiles, tomato, garlic, and cilantro in a medium-sized bowl. Mash the peeled and pitted avocados with lime juice and salt until you get a lumpy consistency. Add the previous vegetable mix to create a chunky consistency.

Immediately cover the guacamole appetizer with saran wrap, pushing the wrap on to entire surface of the guacamole to prevent browning. Place in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 hours in order to let flavors blend.

Place in an appetizer bowl and garnish with your choice of chopped onion, cilantro, and Mexican farmer's cheese. Use the appetizer as a dip with tortilla chips or as a condiment with other Mexican dishes.
