Steps:
- Cut avocados in half around the pit. Separate the halves. Pop out pit with spoon, then scoop flesh of avocados into a bowl. Squeeze the juice of a lemon over the avocados. Squeeze the juice with the lemon halves facing cut-side up, allowing the juice to spill down over the sides of the lemon into the bowl. This method keeps the seeds in the lemon and out of the guacamole. Add garlic, jalapeno, tomato, onion and salt to the bowl. Mash and mix the ingredients into a chunky dip using a fork. Serve with blue corn tortilla chips.

GUACAMOLE
This is one of our favorite spicy snack food recipes, and it's quick and easy to prepare when friends drop by on short notice. It also makes a great side dish for a complete southwestern-style meal. Mild or sweet peppers can be substituted for the chiles for those who like their guacamole a little less spicy. -Anne Tipps, Duncanville, Texas

CHILE VERDE GUACAMOLE
Mexicans are split into two camps when it comes to guacamole: those who always add lime juice and those who absolutely do not. Many Sonoran friends shout "Never!" at the mere suggestion. Having grown up in the pro-lime camp in Mexico City, I was filled with skepticism before trying versions from the deep Mexican north, but what a pleasant surprise. The creamy and nutty avocado takes a deserving central role in Sonoran guacamoles. What won me over was the combination of two chiles: roasted Anaheim, with its tart, fresh, peppery flavors, and raw serrano, with its grassy taste and heat. (I hate to admit it, but this guacamole really needs no lime.)

Steps:
- Place the Anaheim chile on a small baking sheet covered with aluminum foil. Roast it under the broiler, flipping a couple times, until the chile is wilted and its skin is completely charred and wrinkly, 9 to 12 minutes. (Alternatively, you can char the chile directly on a hot comal or a cast-iron pan set over medium heat, or on a grill set to high.)
- Place the charred Anaheim chile in a plastic bag and close it well. Let it steam and sweat for 5 to 10 minutes.
- As the Anaheim chile steams, add the serrano chile, onion, cilantro and salt in a bowl or molcajete, and mash until combined. Add the avocado and continue to mix and mash until you form a chunky purée.
- Once it is cool enough to handle, remove the Anaheim chile from the bag, slip off the charred skin, make a slit down the side and remove the seeds and stem. You could rinse the chile under a thin stream of water, to help remove the seeds, or rinse it off by dipping it into a bowl of water.
- Finely chop the Anaheim chile. Add it to the avocado mixture, and stir to combine. Season to taste with salt.
Tips
- Use ripe avocados for the creamiest guacamole. Avocados should yield to gentle pressure when squeezed.
- Roast the chiles yourself for a more smoky flavor. You can roast them in a dry skillet over medium heat or in the oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes.
- Add other ingredients to your guacamole to taste, such as diced tomatoes, onions, cilantro, or jalapenos.
- Serve guacamole immediately or store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Conclusion
This guacamole recipe is a delicious and versatile dip that can be enjoyed with chips, tacos, burritos, or as a spread on sandwiches. It is also a great way to use up leftover avocados. With its fresh, zesty flavors, this guacamole is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
