National Guacamole Day

Although this green slimy dip is often associated with summertime fiestas and long bon fires by the beach, there’s no reason why we still cant celebrate this day under the snow. If your tongue is a bit tired of the traditional Mexican guac, why not spice it up with Rosa Mexicano’s Guacamole en Molcajete. Made with Hass avocados and jalapeno peppers, you will be sure to jump in your seat feeling hot hot hot under the cold winter breeze.

Ingredient:

Paste
1 tablespoon onions, chopped
1/2 teaspoon jalapeno peppers, chopped
1/2 teaspoon cilantro, chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt

1 ripe Hass avocado
3 tablespoons onions, chopped
1 teaspoon seeded, finely chopped jalapeno pepper
1 1/2 teaspoon finely chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons chopped tomato, discard juice and seeds
salt, to taste

Directions:

In a bowl, using the back of a wooden spoon, thoroughly mash the paste ingredients (using salt as an abrasive).
Holding the avocado in the cup of your hand, split the avocado in half lengthwise and remove the seed.
Slice the avocado lengthwise in approximately 1/8″ strips; then slice across (do not cut through the avocado skin), forming a grid.
Scoop the avocado out of the skin with a spoon. Repeat with other half of avocado.
Add the avocado to the paste and thoroughly mix together. Be sure to mix the ingredients rather than mash them; this leaves the guacamole chunky and somewhat firm, not mushy.
Add the rest of the ingredients and fold them together gently.
Add jalapeno chiles and salt to taste.
Serve with fresh corn tortillas and/or chips.
