Top Shelf Guacamole (Cantina Laredo's)

Submitted by diner524

"About a week ago I went to lunch at Cantina Laredo's and tried their table side prepared guacamole, which I normally don't eat the guacamole, not a fan, but just loved this one. They start out with lime juice, then add the seasonings and then the diced avocado. Then they give you the option of adding all the remaining ingredients (onions, tomatoes, cilantro and jalapenos). I wasn't the one ordering this, so they added all but the onions and jalapenos. There were several news videos (from different cities) on youtube.com to watch them make it, so I am including a link. This one is not a news station but actually from Cantina Laredo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bSte45AvS6g."

 

• Ready In: 10mins
• Ingredients: 9
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 1⁄2 lime
• 1⁄4 teaspoon sea salt
• 1⁄4 teaspoon white pepper
• 1⁄4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 large Hass avocado (ripe, slightly soft to squeeze)
• 2 tablespoons red onions, diced 3/8-inch (I sub green onion for milder taste)
• 2 tablespoons jalapenos, finely diced and seeds removed
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, finely chopped
• 1⁄3 cup tomatoes, diced 3/8-inch (remove all insides except tomato flesh, no seeds)

directions

1. Using a fork, place it in the middle of the 1/2 lime and squeeze (turning fork) to get the juice in to the bowl. Add the sea salt, white pepper and granulated garlic and stir to combine.
2. Cut avocado in half and remove the seed.
3. With a dinner knife, score the avocado every ½ inch, turning knife length-wise and cross-wise to form ½-inch squares.
4. Taking each avocado half, place a bouillon spoon between the skin and the pulp. Remove the pulp and place into the mixing bowl.
5. With two forks, mash the avocados to make a chunky paste.
6. Next add the onion, cilantro, jalapenos and mix to combine. Last, add the tomatoes.
7. Serve with chips and enjoy!

Use 4 avocados. That will make you use 1 whole tomato, 1 whole red onion, all the cilantro, and 2 jalapenos. That way nothing goes to waste. Before I would throw away half a tomato and onion.

I made this for the ball game this afternoon, and it didn't last through the first quarter! Delicious! Can't wait to try this with "real" tomatoes from my garden. This guac isn't hot at all, so it's perfect for a big get together when you don't want to scorch anyone's mouth. Thanks for the great recipe!

I warn you now...this could cause bust ups...!!!<br/>This was so delish, that it caused a spoon war in the rush to get enough for your tortillas before it disappeared.....so I had to make another batch which disappeared just as rapidly!!<br/>I'd call that that pretty successful..a REAL WINNER!!!<br/>Made with absolute pleasure for PRMR.
