This is a chunky guacamole packed with just the right amount of veggies and spices – the perfect complement to Xochitl gluten free tortilla chips or smeared on your burgers. This recipe makes a hearty snack for 2 and can easily be doubled, or tripled. If you are in full vacation mode, Stewart’s Own Guacamole is freshly prepared daily and ready to go too! Enjoy!
The Parsley Thief’s Guacamole
Ingredients
1 ripe avocado, diced
juice from 1/2 a lime
1/2 cup chopped tomato
1/4 cup minced red onion
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
a few shakes of red pepper flakes
kosher salt & freshly ground pepper, to taste
Directions:
Place the diced avocado in a bowl. Add the lime juice to the bowl & toss to coat the avocado. Add the tomato, red onion, cilantro & red pepper flakes. Using the tines of a fork, mash up the mixture until it’s about half mashed & half chunky. Taste for seasoning, add some kosher salt & freshly ground pepper & stir again. If possible, let the guacamole sit for a few hours, to let the flavors develop. Serve with tortilla chips, or add to your favorite salads, sandwiches, or Mexican food.
