Description
An authentic guacamole recipe passed down through generations includes chile de arbol peppers, tomatoes, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice.
Ingredients
•
2 fresh chile de arbol peppers, or to taste
•
3 medium avocados - peeled, pitted, and mashed (one pit reserved)
•
2 tablespoons finely chopped onion
•
1/4 cup chopped roma tomatoes
•
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes
•
1 1/2 cups chopped fresh cilantro
•
2 pinches garlic powder, or to taste
•
salt to taste
•
1 lime, juiced
Directions
1
Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Arrange chile peppers on a baking sheet.
2
Toast chile peppers in the preheated until browned, about 7 minutes. Remove stems.
3
Mix avocados, onion, and roma tomatoes together in a bowl.
4
Blend canned tomatoes, cilantro, toasted chile peppers, garlic powder, and salt in a blender until smooth. Pour about half the blended tomato mixture into avocado mixture. Reserve remaining tomato mixture for another use or for dipping.
5
Squeeze lime juice into avocado mixture and gently stir until evenly combined. Transfer guacamole to a smaller serving bowl; place reserved avocado pit in the middle to prevent browning.
