Olive Oil Guacamole
Amp up the taste of guacamole with olive oil, which can cut through the green taste avocados can have. This recipe was given to me by a restaurant owner in San Miguel.
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 ripe avocados
- ¼ cup finely diced onion
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- 1 clove minced garlic
- Fresh cilantro chopped, about ⅛ cup, or to taste
- cayenne pepper to taste
- salt to taste
- optional finely minced jalapeno slices to garnish (I just used one slice)
- optional diced tomatoes to taste
Instructions
- Peel and pit the avocados. Mash with a potato masher, wooden spoon, fork, or mortar and pestle.
- Add in the onions, and japaleno if using, and mash some more.
- Add in remaining ingredients and finish incorporating.
- Fluff with a spatula and serve immediately.
- Cover any leftovers with plastic wrap pressed on the surface of the guac in an airtight container. You can splash a little extra lime on top before covering too for extra browning protection.
