So I make and eat a lot of guacamole… it's one of my weaknesses! The other week when we were in Chicago at Rick Bayless' restaurant XOCO and we had this delicious guac with sun-dried tomatoes in it. I knew i had to recreate it, so I did : ) My interpretation doesn't taste the exact same as his, but I loooove the addition of sun-dried tomatoes! It gives the guac a surprising sweet bite with the spicy cilantro. Perfect for your next get together!
Fun in the Sun Guacamole
Makes about 2 cups
What you'll need:
1/2 yellow onion, finely diced
2 ripe avocados
1/4-1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes (not in oil!)
a handful of cilantro, chopped
1/8 tsp. chile lime salt (if you can't find it, use the juice from 1/2 lime and a sprinkle of dried ground chile)
What you'll do:
Put the diced onion in a medium bowl and sprinkle with a little salt. (the salt will help draw some of the bitterness out of the onion.) Peel and de-pit the avocados, dice them and add them into the onions. Smash with the back of a fork. Fold in the tomatoes and cilantro; then season with the chile lime salt to taste.
Serve with chips or for a low-fat option, serve with jicama, cucumber or celery!
