Happy Cinco de Mayo!

May 5, 2015 By Lena

Guacamole and fajitas. Mexican flags and mariachi bands. Margaritas, margaritas, and…. more margaritas.

It’s Cinco de Mayo!

This year, I’m so pleased to team up with Avocados From Mexico. In fact, you could call me the Avo Whisperer. All year, I’ll be sharing the best recipes featuring – you guessed it – Avocados From Mexico, in addition to party ideas, nutrition facts, meal inspiration and more. And today, I’m excited to let you in on a little secret… a recipe for the BEST GUAC you’ll ever have!
carnivale-guacamole-788x440Here’s what you’ll need to whip up a batch of this delicious spread:

5 Hass Avocados from Mexico, cut into medium chunks
3 roma tomatoes, seeded & diced
1 serrano chili, finely diced
3 tbsp garlic chopped
1/2 cup cilantro, chopped
1 lime, juiced
3 tbsp olive oil
sea salt season to taste

Halve Hass Avocados and remove seeds. Cut into medium chunks (about a half inch thick) inside the Avocado shells, then scoop into a bowl with a spoon. Add remaining ingredients and mix well. (Don’t mash it into a paste; leave somewhat chunky.) Season with salt and taste, then mix a little bit more to combine thoroughly. Pair with corn chips.

All ingredients can be adjusted to suit your taste! We use non-traditional lemon juice instead of lime juice, because I’m a fan of the milder flavour. (As we say in my house, “lemon in the guac, lime in the cerveza!”) And, if you’re hankering for more Avo Inspiration, join our #AvoMexico Twitter Chat today at 12pm EDT! We’ll dish on the best, um, dishes! See you at noon!

If You Only Do TWO Things This Weekend…

June 1, 2012 By Lena

1. Make this Guacamole
2. Buy these PC Lime & Habanero Chili Flavour Kettle Style Tortilla Chips

This Guacamole

3 medium, ripe avocados – peeled, pitted, and mashed
1/2 cup finely diced onion
1 large tomato – seeded and diced
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 lime, juiced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
pinch ground cumin
pinch ground cayenne pepper

In a medium bowl, mash together the avocados, lime juice, and salt. Mix in onion, tomato, garlic and cilantro. Stir in cumin and cayenne pepper. Refrigerate 1 hour for best flavor, or serve immediately. Serves 4.

These Chips

From PC: “Made from whole white corn – ground using volcanic stones – these exceptionally crisp tortilla chips deliver an eruption of flavour with every crunch. Perfectly seasoned with juicy lime and fiery habanero chilli flavour, enjoy them right out of the bag!”

Everything about this snack is loaded with flavour, and I can’t seem to get enough of the guacamole’s creamy texture against the sharp, crunchy tortilla chip. TRY IT – you’ll love it! Have a wonderful weekend everyone!
