Total time:
Serves: 8-10
Spicy chipotle is cooled by the sweet mango for a guacamole you're not going to forget.
Ingredients
6 avocados
juice of 1 lime
3 cloves of garlic, crushed or minced
1 small red onion, chopped up really really small (nothing ruins my day quite like a giant bite of raw onion)
1 big ass mango, diced (2 small will do, in NY in winter you can't be too picky)
3-5 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, chopped (I like to scrape out the seeds, but you don't have to if you like more heat)
salt to taste
some fresh cilantro works too but I couldn't find any of decent quality (suburban Shop Rite, ew) and also sometimes think it makes the flavor a little too "busy" (optional)
Instructions
Step 2- Slice, scoop and mash your avocados with your lime juice.
Step 3- Do not slice your finger down to the bone while doing step 2. (Note: if you fail step 3 like I did, bandage that sucker up real tight so as not to bleed into your guac.)
Step 4- Remind Chewy for the hundredth time that there's nothing for her up here.
Step 5- Mix everything else in and add salt until it tastes good.
Step 6- Put the guac in an appropriately sized bowl. Make sure you don't bleed into it.
Step 7- Serve it with delicious chips (hell yeah, blue cor
Notes
Frozen mango can be used in place of fresh mango if not in season, just be sure to allow a few hours to thaw and then dried either in a salad spinner or with paper towels.
