Oaxacan Guacamole

Oaxacan Guacamole
In Oaxaca, guacamole is more often a sauce than a dip. It’s perfect for spooning over grilled meats of all kinds.

2 very ripe avocados

1/4 cup coarsely chopped onion

1 clove garlic, minced

1 to 3 serrano or jalapeno chiles, coarsely chopped

1/4 cup fresh lime juice (or more, to taste)

1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

1/2 teaspoon salt (or more, to taste)

Peel, pit and coarsely chop the avocados.

Combine the onion, garlic and chiles in a blender or food processor and process until finely chopped.

Add the avocados and process into a puree.

Add lime juice, cilantro and salt and process just to blend.

Taste for seasoning, adding lime juice or salt as needed.

Serves 4 to 6.
