Perfect Guacamole

Adapted from my book, 200 Best Panini Recipes

It was possibly in my late 30’s before I was introduced to guacamole…I know, I know…crazy right?  After that introduction, I was hooked and now incredibly selective on my guacamole and a true addict.  I literally crave guacamole, fresh salsa and chips!  I LOVE the flavors and consider this grouping one of my all-time favorites.  I enjoy making this creamy concoction, especially adding fresh ingredients and added creaminess of sour cream.  I know, not traditional whatsoever but I love the silky texture.  Not a fan?  Leave it out. Enjoy!!

Perfect Guacamole

Author Chef Tiffany Blackmon

Ingredients

  • 2 Large Avocados, peeled and pitted
  • 1 Tbsp. Sour Cream
  • 3 Plum (Roma) Tomatoes, seeded and chopped
  • 2 Jalapeño Peppers, ribs and seeds removed, minced
  • 2 Cloves Garlic, minced
  • ¼ Cup Finely Chopped Red Onion
  • 1 Tbsp. Chopped Fresh Cilantro
  • 2 Tbsp. Freshly Squeezed Lime Juice

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, mash avocados.  Stir in sour cream.  Gently fold in tomatoes, jalapeños, garlic, onion, cilantro and lime juice.
  • Season to taste with salt and pepper.  Serve immediately.  

Notes

~Short on prep time, substitute 1/2cup (125mL) of your favorite salsa or fresh pico de gallo for the tomatoes, jalapeños, garlic, red onion and cilantro.
~I enjoy making and serving guacamole in a molcajete, the traditional Mexican version of a mortar and pestle.
~Substitute non-fat, plain Greek yogurt for the sour cream if preferred.  
~For added flavor, season to taste with chili powder, or cumin.

Black Bean and Corn Salsa

Adapted from my book, 200 Best Panini Recipes

This salsa is so fresh and so versatile!  Serve it as a salad, a dip or sandwiched between two flour tortillas, with a bit of Monterey Jack cheese, for the perfect quesadilla.
