Guacamole Recipe
A few months back, my wife and I had the pleasure of visiting a Mexican restaurant in Charlotte called Cantina 1511. One of the highlights was their guacamole, which is made fresh at your table.
Strangely enough, when visiting the restroom, there was a recipe for guacamole framed on the wall above one of the urinals. Before I walked out of the restroom, I snapped a photo of the recipe.
Since then, I’ve made a couple of attempts, and I must say that I am increasingly pleased with the results.
Here are the ingredients:
- 3 Roma Tomatoes, diced small
- ¼ Medium Red Onion, diced small
- ¼ Cup Chopped Cilantro
- 2 ½ Tablespoons Lime Juice
- 2 ½ Teaspoons Salt
- 3 Avocados (or 2, if they are large)
Optional for spiciness:
- 2 Teaspoons Serrano Chile, Minced, and Seeded
Mix the tomatoes, onion, cilantro, 1 tablespoon of lime juice, and 1 teaspoon of salt into a bowl. If you want the additional spice, add 1 teaspoon of chile. You now have a bowl of pico de gallo
In a separate bowl, add the avocado flesh, and break it down with a pair of forks, until smooth. Stir in half a cup of the pico de gallo, and remaining ingredients.
Serve immediately. Enjoy.
