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

TANGY GUACAMOLE



Tangy Guacamole image

A refreshing lemon/limey guacamole recipe that is neither too spicy nor too tangy. Great for someone who cannot handle too much spice or heat. The lemon/lime mixture will keep the avocado from browning and give it a refreshing tart/tangy taste. This is a slight variation from a recipe a Texan friend shared with me. Great with tortilla chips. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • For the best guacamole, use ripe avocados. They should be slightly soft to the touch and yield to gentle pressure.
  • To easily scoop out the avocado flesh, cut the avocado in half lengthwise and twist the halves apart. Then, use a spoon to scoop out the flesh.
  • If you don't have a molcajete or mortar and pestle, you can use a food processor to make the guacamole. Just be careful not to over-process it, or the guacamole will become too smooth.
  • To add some spice to your guacamole, add a chopped jalapeño pepper or serrano pepper. You can also add some minced garlic or onion for extra flavor.
  • If you're making guacamole ahead of time, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. You can also freeze guacamole for up to 2 months.

Tangy Green Guacamole is a delicious and versatile dip that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, snack, or side dish. It's also a great way to use up ripe avocados. With its bright green color and tangy flavor, this guacamole is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
