Mango Guacamole

 

Yummy unique twist to guac...
 

3 large 

 

ripe avocados

 

½ small 

 

red onion, diced

 

½ to 1 fresh 

 

serrano chile, seeded and finely chopped

 

2 Tbs 

 

chopped fresh cilantro, plus a few extra leaves for garnish

 

2 Tbs 

 

freshly squeezed lime juice (about)

 

1 medium 

 

ripe mango, peeled, flesh cut from the pit and diced

 

 

 

salt to taste

 

 

1

Cut avocados in half, running your knife around the pit from stem to blossom end and back up again. Twist the halves in opposite directions to free the pit, and pull the halves apart. Gently tap pit with a sharp knife, twist and remove pit. Scoop avocado flesh into a large bowl. Coarsely mash avocado with a fork.

2

Rinse chopped red onion under cold water, shake off excess water, then add it to the avocado along with the chopped chile, cilantro and lime juice.

3

Mix in two-thirds of the diced mango. Taste and season with salt.

4

If not serving right away, cover with plastic wrap pressed directly on the surface of the guacamole and refrigerate- preferably for no more than a few hours.

5

When you're ready to serve, scoop guacamole into a serving bowl and garnish with the remaining diced mango and cilantro sprigs. Serve with tortilla chips, slices of cucumber and/or jicama.

 

Yield: About 2 1/2 cups

 

 Cooking Tips

*Use plastic gloves when handling the serrano chile or you'll have that spicy burn on your fingers that will be tough to get rid of.
