Guacamole! Ole!

Guacamole! Ole!

I have been making this recipe for guacamole for many many years. 

I have modified it a bit from time to time…but the basics remain the same.

Many times, I cut the recipe down as I make only enough for the Captain and Me! 

molcajete
Mexican Molcajete

I use a molcajete…(Pronounced mole-ca-het-ti) that is made from lava rock, with a pestle of the same stone.  

I bought it in Mexico when I lived in New Mexico (almost 20 years ago) and where I learned a lot of Mexican recipes handed down from generation to generation.

However, you can use something as simple as a fork and a bowl….or a pestle and mortar…anything to mash the avocados and blend the spices.

I also top my guacamole with thin slices of scallions and seeded tomato….and serve with plenty of home made tortilla chips.

So simple to do….dip cut-up corn or flour (I prefer flour) tortillas in hot oil til crisp, then drain on paper towels.

Do you have a favorite guacamole recipe?

  3. Add the salt, cumin, and cayenne and mash.
  4. Gently stir in the onions, jalapeno, tomatoes, cilantro, and garlic.
  5. Add a little more of the juice to keep the avocado from turning brown..
  6. Let sit at room temperature for about an hour and serve
Notes
  1. I use a molcajete....similar to a mortar and pestle...only it is a big piece of lava rock. You can use a bowl with a simple fork.
