I made this to go with grilled pork chops last night and it was delicious.

Border Guacamole
|
Mesa Mexicana by Fenniger/Milliken
|
5 ripe avocados, preferably Haas
6 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
1 med red onion, chopped
4 jalapeno chiles, stemmed, seeded & finely diced
3 tbsp fresh squeezed lime juice, I used key lime
1.5 tsp salt
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
shredded lettuce, for serving
sliced tomatoes, drizzled w/cracked blk pepper
|
Cut the avocados into quarters. Remove the seeds, peel and place in a mixing
bowl. Mash with a potato masher or fork until chunky. Add remaining
ingredients and combine with a fork. Mound on a bed of shredded lettuce and
garnish with the sliced tomatoes drizzled with black pepper garnish. Serve
immediately.
Risa's notes:
* I didn't mound it on lettuce, just put it on the side of the plate.
** I didn't use the tomato garnish.
I also didn't use chiles because I had none and because there was heat in
the marinade and sauce for the pork. My DH is not a C-H, not as much as I
am.
