Today is National Guacamole Day! Celebrate with friends at Uncle Julio's Fine Mexican Food or whip up a batch yourself using their famous recipe:Ingredients
6 avocados
¾ tbsp. guacamole oil (¼ cup of olive oil infused with one peeled clove of finely minced garlic)
2 lemons, juiced
1 tsp. salt (to taste)
½ cup chopped tomatoes
¼ cup chopped white onions
1 large green leaf lettuce for garnish
¼ oz. white and yellow cheese (to serve alongside the guacamole)
1 lemon wedge (to squeeze on guacamole before eating)
Directions:
1. Halve and pit the avocados. With a tablespoon, scoop out the flesh into a bowl.
2. Using the same bowl, mash the avocados with either a fork or potato masher, leaving them a bit chunky.
3. Stir guacamole oil into avocado.
4. Add remaining ingredients and mix well. Salt to taste.
5. Serve with tortilla chips.
6. Lay a piece of plastic wrap tight on any remaining guacamole so it doesn't brown and refrigerate.
