Happy Hour! Time to sit back, and relax with a cold Dos Equis and some yummy guacamole. When I first went to Mexico City Restaurant, we ordered the guac. If you’ve never been there, they come to your table-side and prepare it with all fresh ingredients. After seeing how easy, and enjoying its fresh, great taste, I’ve been making my own ever since.
I only use one avocado at a time, but for photos, I added a friend.
Ingredients can be whatever you want. Tomatoes are a big hit, but for this recipe I used a handful of cilantro leaves, one avocado, one green onion and one garlic clove. Add in a spoon full of jalapeno peppers, or green chilies. I use Nellie & Joe’s Key West Lime Juice. I absolutely love it. Also, great in alcohol beverages. Add a few squirts, as needed. You only need a little. – Lime juice goes a long way.
When slicing an avocado, take your knife and slice the center from one side to the other; making a complete circle around it. Pull it apart at the seams with a little twist. Scoop out the hard seed and toss in the garbage.
Take a spoon to scoop out the meat from the skin.
Mexico City uses a mortar and pestle. As soon as I saw it, I wanted one. I looked at Amazon, but I never did buy it, and I’m glad I didn’t. – I hear it’s very hard to clean. My Cuisinart Smart Stick, works perfectly. I love it. It’s fast and easy. I toss in all the ingredients adding a few squirts of lime juice with a dash of salt and pepper, and blend.
Please pull up a chair and join me.
Secret ingredient: A Dos Equis, or a Corona with a slice of lime, always goes great with Guac.
Please share your ideas because this girl likes to eat.
