Guacamole For One Food

GUACAMOLE - REAL AUTHENTIC MEXICAN "GUAC"

Steps:

• Slice avocados in half. Discard the seed. Scoop out of shell with a spoon. Place in bowl.
• Add juice of one fresh lime immediately to prevent browning. Use a fork and mash to desired consistency.
• Add chopped onions, tomato, and cilantro. Stir gently to mix ingredients.
• Add juice of second lime and then salt to taste. Stir just slightly, until incorporated.
• Add jalapeño to taste.
• Serve with your favorite tortilla chips for a dip, or use with your favorite Mexican dish.
• a side note: this is to make a chunky, yet creamy guacamole. Some people prefer to use a food processor with all the ingredients to make for a VERY creamy dip.

GUACAMOLE FOR 1 OR 2

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients together, Do not puree in a blender or food processor, mixture should be slightly lumpy.
• Serve with tortilla chips or over taco, burritos, enchiladas and quesadillas.

GUACAMOLE FOR ONE

Steps:

• Coarsely chop the tomato and drain.
• Half the avocado.
• Remove pit (hold the half of avocado with the pit in one hand, firmly but gently smack a chef's knife into the pit until the knife sinks about half inch into the middle of the pit, twist the knife and the pit back and forth to loosen the pit and remove).
• Score the flesh of the avocado with the tip of the knife.
• Scoope out the flesh with a spoon into a small bowl.
• Mash the avocado with a fork, leaving some chunks.
• Fold in tomato, onion, lime juice and salt.
• At this point, I usually watch my husband inhale the "guac" with some authentic chips from the local Mexican market.
• Note: If you are going to put the "guac" into the refrigerator, save the pit and put it in with the "guac" to help preserve the avocado.

CHEF JOHN'S CLASSIC GUACAMOLE

Steps:

• Place minced peppers, 1/4 cup of the chopped cilantro, and the diced onions on a cutting board. Chop them together into very small pieces. Sprinkle with kosher salt. Using the flat side of the knife blade, smear the mixture to work it into a paste, and chop again to achieve as fine a texture as possible.
• Stem, halve, and pit the avocados. Scoop out flesh and place in a bowl. Add 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, onion and serrano mixture, salt, and fresh lime juice. Mash with a potato masher to desired texture (smooth or chunky), 5 or 6 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings. If not serving immediately, cover and refrigerate.
