- Guacamole with Chicken: Fresh tortilla chips topped with smoked chicken, guacamole and pico de gallo for $17.49
Avocados From Peru’s supply window is from June to October, making National Avocado Day the peak time to enjoy fresh avocados and avocado-based recipes, such as the Official Braves Guacamole Recipe.
Recipe for the Official Guacamole of the Atlanta Braves, with Avocados From Peru:
INGREDIENTS
3 Large Avocados from Peru, peeled and pit removed
1/2 Small yellow onion, diced small
2 Roma tomatoes, diced small
3 TBS Cilantro, cleaned and chopped
1 ea Jalapeno, seeded and diced small
1 Garlic clove, minced
2 Limes, juiced
1/2 Tsp Sea salt
INSTRUCTIONS
- Slice the avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop them into a mixing bowl
- Mash the avocado with a fork and make it as chunky or smooth as you’d like
- Add the remaining ingredients and stir together. Give it a taste test and add a pinch more salt or lime juice if needed.
TIPS
- Look for large avocados for this recipe. If you can only find small avocados, feel free to add one more!
- Use fresh limes rather than bottled lime juice. The flavor difference is worth it.
