Guacamole

A true Mexican-style Guacamole taught to me by a Mexican chef.

Serves:

4 Prep Time: 5 minutes

Ingredients

1 tablespoon finely chopped onion
2 tablespoons chopped coriander
1/2 teaspoon salt
1-2 teaspoons finely chopped jalapeno
1 large ripe avocado
1/2 small tomato, finely diced
lime juice, to taste
chilli powder or paprika, for sprinkling, optional
extra coriander leaves, for sprinkling

Method

Grind onion, coriander, salt and jalapeno to a paste in a mortar and pestle (or mash with a fork on a board). Cut avocado in half, remove stone and cut the avocado into large cubes in the shell. Add to the paste, stirring to break up the avocado a little but keep it chunky. Mix in tomato and season with lime juice and salt. Serve garnished with chilli powder and coriander leaves. Serve with Tortilla Crisps.

Tips

TORTILLA CRISPS Cut soft flour tortillas into wedges and oven bake at 200°C for 10-15 minutes until golden. Allow to cool to crisp.
