Notes: Eligio Hernández of Mountain View, California, often ate this make-it-yourself guacamole for a casual lunch or snack in Mexico, where he grew up. Its simple presentation also makes it a stunning first course for a meal. Ingredients:
1 firm-ripe avocado (1/2 lb.) |
2 tablespoons tomato salsa or 1/2 to 1 teaspoon hot sauce |
1 lime (2 oz.), rinsed and cut in half |
4 to 6 warm corn tortillas (6 in.) or 2 to 3 cups (2 to 3 oz.) tortilla chips |
salt |
Directions:
1. Cut avocado in half lengthwise; remove pit. Set each half, cut side up, on a salad plate. Spoon 1 tablespoon salsa into each cavity. Set lime halves and tortillas alongside.
2. To eat, squeeze lime halves over avocado and sprinkle with salt to taste. With a fork or a spoon, mash avocado slightly with salsa in peel, then spoon mixture onto tortillas.
