Guadalupes Guacamole Food

THE BEST GUACAMOLE

Steps:

• Put the diced onion into a small strainer and rinse under cold running water. Transfer to a small bowl and cover with 1 cup cold water. Stir in the vinegar and let sit for 10 minutes.
• Slice the avocados in half, remove the pits and scoop the flesh into a medium bowl. Pour the lime juice over the avocado. Using a fork or potato masher, mash the avocado until creamy with some chunks remaining. Drain the onions well and add to the bowl, along with the jalapeno, garlic, salt and cilantro. Stir to combine.
• Serve immediately with tortilla chips. Or press a piece of plastic wrap directly against the surface of the guacamole to prevent discoloration and refrigerate until ready to serve.

BEST EVER CHUNKY GUACAMOLE

Steps:

• Use a large knife to pulverise 1 large ripe tomato to a pulp on a board, then tip into a bowl.
• Halve and stone the 3 avocados (saving a stone) and use a spoon to scoop out the flesh into the bowl with the tomato.
• Tip the juice of 1 large lime, a handful of roughly chopped coriander, 1 finely chopped small red onion and 1 deseeded and finely chopped red or green chilli into the bowl, then season with salt and pepper.
• Use a whisk to roughly mash everything together. If not serving straight away, sit a stone in the guacamole (this helps to stop it going brown), cover with cling film and chill until needed.

GUADALUPE'S GUACAMOLE

Steps:

• Dice onion, tomato, cilantro, and jalapeno. If you don't like spice, then remove seeds. Place in medium bowl.
• Remove pits from avacados. Spoon the meat of the avacados from the skin. Smash with fork; I use a large meat fork. Add to bowl of vegetables.
• Add juice and salt. Stir well.
• Cover with saran wrap (it should be touching the guacamole to prevent air). Let set for one hour.
• Serve with chips or on tacos, etc.

GRILLED GUACAMOLE AND GRILLED QUESO DIP

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill to medium heat.
• Place the jalapeños, onions, tomatoes, avocados and limes on a baking sheet and brush lightly with olive oil. Transfer the jalapeños, onions, tomatoes (cut-side down), avocados (cut-side down) and limes (cut-side down) to the grill. Grill the jalapeños and onions, turning occasionally, until charred and crisp-tender, 6 to 7 minutes. Grill the tomatoes, turning once, until charred and the skins have started to pull away, 3 to 4 minutes. Grill the avocados and limes just enough to mark them, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer each ingredient as it is ready to a cutting board and set aside until cool enough to handle. If your grill doesn't have a side burner, leave the grill on.
• Finely chop the jalapeños. Coarsely chop the onions. Remove the skins from the tomatoes (if some of the skin sticks, that's fine) and coarsely chop. Scoop the avocado into a medium bowl and coarsely mash with a fork. Squeeze in the juice from the grilled limes and season with 1 teaspoon salt. Add the cilantro and half of the jalapeños, onions and tomatoes and stir to combine. Set the guacamole aside.
• Increase the heat of the grill to high (or turn on the side burner). Place the cream, cream cheese and chili powder in a medium saucepan and cook on the grill, whisking, until smooth and bubbly, 2 to 5 minutes. Whisk in the Cheddar and Monterey Jack in handfuls, letting one melt before adding the next, until thick and smooth. Add the remaining jalapeños, onions and tomatoes and cook, stirring, until just heated through, about 30 seconds. Season with salt to taste. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve immediately with the guacamole and tortilla chips.

CLASSIC GUACAMOLE

Steps:

• Finely chop the red onion, tomatoes, coriander and jalapeños separately. Mix together the onion, tomatoes, coriander and a pinch of salt. Keep the jalapeños to one side.
• Scoop all the avocado flesh into a bowl and crush with a fork, leaving it chunky - it should not be puréed. Add the lime juice and onion mixture, combining gently.
• Add jalapeños, to taste, and more sea salt if needed. Serve with the tortilla chips.
