  • When selecting an avocado, make sure it is ripe by gently pressing the skin with your fingers. It should give slightly.
  • When selecting a tomato, make sure it is firm and ripe. Avoid any that are bruised or overly soft.

  • Substitute the avocado with mashed banana. This substitution creates a sweeter guacamole, which may be beneficial for those who prefer a milder taste.
  • Substitute the canned green chili with jalapeno peppers. This substitution creates a spicier guacamole, which may be beneficial for those who prefer a bolder flavor.

Chipotle Guacamole In a food processor/blender blend all ingredients together, except for the canned green chili. Add 1/4 cup of chipotle peppers in adobo sauce and blend until smooth. Serve in a small bowl, garnished with chopped tomato.



Mexican Street Corn: Freshly grilled corn on the cob, smothered with a creamy sauce and sprinkled with Cotija cheese. This dish is the perfect complement to guacamole, as the sweetness of the corn contrasts the savory flavors of the guacamole.
