When life gives you lemons… make guacamOLE!
The key to making a well-rounded guacamole is having the perfect amount of acidity, spiciness and texture. I don’t know about you but I like my guacamole fully loaded with red onions, cilantro, tomatoes, jalapenos & more!
Having grown up in a Mexican household, I consider myself a guacamole enthusiast and find any excuse to make a batch and enjoy it with a nice cold beer {a Bohemia to be exact!).

Dalia’s Guacamole
Serves 4-6 people
Ingredients:
- 4 avocados
- 3 roma tomatoes
- 1/2 bunch cilantro
- 1 red onion
- 1 Serrano chile
- *2 pickled jalapeño chiles
- Lemon juice to taste
- 1/4 cup of pickled jalapeño juice
- Tortilla chips or tostadas
*You can find pickled jalapeño cans in most supermarkets or Latino stores
Directions:
Cut the avocado lengthwise, take out the pit and spoon out the meat of the avocado. Slightly mash the avocado and squeeze some lemon juice over the top (so that the avocado won’t brown). Finely chop all of the ingredients and add them to a bowl. Don’t mix ingredients until you’re ready to serve. Add salt and pepper to taste and serve with chips or tostadas! Pair with a nice cold Bohemia cerveza or your favorite *Chardonnay! Ole!
*Favorite wine pairing: Ceja Vineyards Chardonnay
