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.
