Margarita Guacamole Recipes

THE ULTIMATE MARGARITA

Steps:

• Shake together all ingredients with ice and strain into a margarita glass.
• Optional: rub the cut side of a lime on the glass rim and dip it into salt; and add a lime wedge to the rim of the glass as a garnish.

THE PERFECT MARGARITA

Steps:

• Moisten the rim of a glass with a lime wedge. Sprinkle salt onto a plate. Lightly dip the moistened rim into the salt. Place a large ice cube in the glass and freeze the prepared glass until ready to serve.
• Fill a cocktail shaker with fresh ice. Add tequila, triple sec, and lime juice. Cover and shake vigorously until outside of the shaker has frosted. Strain into the prepared glass and garnish with a slice of lime.

MARGARITA GUACAMOLE

• Add tequila and remaining ingredients, stirring until well blended.
• Serve with tortilla chips.

GUACAMOLE WITH MARGARITA COULIS

Steps:

• Mash avocados lightly. Add lemon juice, onion and cilantro and mix well. Add spices and stir together. Place coulis in a plastic bag. Snip a tiny hole in 1 corner and pipe a spiral of sauce on top of the guacamole.
• In a small bowl, mix water and cornstarch. Microwave on high for 15 seconds. Stir and microwave for 15 seconds more or until mixture is thick and clear. Puree all of the ingredients together.

GUACAMOLE

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine the onion and lime juice, and season with salt and pepper. Let that sit as you chop the jalapeño.
• Cut the hard stem end off of the jalapeño and discard, then slice the chile in half lengthwise. If you don't want the spice, use your knife or a spoon to remove the inner seeds and white membrane (this is where most of the chile's heat resides). If you enjoy the heat, then leave all of that in. Chop the jalapeño as finely as you can and add to the bowl with the onion and lime juice. Be sure to wash your hands very well with soap after handling spicy chiles like jalapeños, and whatever you do, do not touch your eyes after handling them.
• Cut the avocados in half lengthwise and pull the halves apart. You can use your knife to pit the avocados, but a safer way is to hold the avocado half in one hand so that your thumb is touching the skin side where the pit is and your index and middle fingers are touching the flesh side around the pit. Gently press your fingers into each other to pop the pit out; with a ripe avocado, it should come out very easily. Use your hands to squeeze the avocado flesh out into the bowl with the other ingredients, or scoop it out with a spoon.
• Using a fork, gently mash the avocados against the side of the bowl until they are mashed to your desired consistency, then stir them into the other ingredients until well combined. Taste and add more salt if desired.
• Contrary to popular belief, adding avocado pits to guacamole does nothing to prevent oxidation, but if you press a good layer of plastic wrap or parchment paper directly over the guacamole and store it in the refrigerator, it will keep well for up to 2 days.
