Start cooking

Serves: 12

|
2 lb. California Avocados 1 cup roasted corn kernels* 1 medium lemon, sliced thinly (including peel), then cut into small dice 4 large cloves garlic, chopped finely 2 (or to taste) jalapeno peppers, chopped finely 1 tsp. ground cumin 1 tsp. salt
  1. Coarsely mash (DO NOT PUREE) California avocados. Fold in remaining ingredients. Serve with blue corn chips, deep-fried flour tortilla chips.
  2. Guacamole is best made as close to service as possible. Store in an airtight container with a piece of plastic wrap against the surface of the guacamole.
  3. *To roast corn, soak 2 ears in water for 1 hour. Remove husk and silk. Roast on the rack in a 375F degree oven, turning occasionally, until kernels appear slightly shriveled. Substitute well drained canned corn that has been blotted with a towel, if necessary.

*Large avocados are recommended for this recipe. A large avocado averages about 8 ounces. If using smaller or larger size avocados adjust the quantity accordingly.
