It’s time for our May bonus post. This month’s bonus is an easy, tasty, fresh recipe that you can whip up with a Mexican meal or if friends are dropping by for a last minute visit.
With the fresh ingredients of avocados, cilantro, tomatoes, onions, jalapenos, lime and a splash of Corralejo Anejo Tequila, your guests will be singing your praises. We had family visitors from California last weekend, and wanted to serve a tasty meal with little fuss. The guac was a hit and so easy to make. It was a great compliment to chicken enchiladas and a Santorita!
First slice avocados into a molcajete or other bowl. Smash avocados with a fork. Next add diced tomato, diced cilantro, diced onions, and jalapenos. Mix together with the avocados. Blend in the juice of 1 lime and .5 ounces of tequila. We used Corralejo Anejo Tequila. Anjeos are aged 1-3 years, so they have more flavor that comes through in the guac than a regular blanco tequila which is not aged and bottled immediately. Add a pinch of kosher salt. Serve with blue corn tortilla chips. Yummo!
