Abuelo's Guacamole

Abuelo's Restaurant is my favorite restaurant. Unfortunately, they do not have any Abuelo's restaurants in the the Pacific Northwest. So far I've found their recipe for Papas con Chile and Chile con Queso. A day or so ago I found Abuelo's guacamole recipe! Turns out it's a lot like the recipe I already use, but I thought it was worth sharing.

Abuelo's Guacamole

1 lb. Fresh Avocados

2 TBS of fine diced onion

¼ cup of seeded tomatoes, diced ¼"

1/8 tsp granulated garlic

1 TBSP fresh squeezed lime juice

Salt to taste

Wash all produce before using.

Cut avocado in ½ and remove pit. Using a soup spoon, remove avocado meat from the hull and place into a mixing bowl. Mash avocado meat to desired consistency. Add the rest of ingredients and fold gently checking for salt level. If you desire a spicier guacamole, add de - veined and seeded fresh diced jalapeños or Serrano peppers.

Casa Ole Green Dip

Everyone has a favorite restaurant that they grew up eating at, for me it was Casa Ole. Casa Ole is a small chain Mexican food restaurant found in Texas. What made this Mexican food restaurant stand out from all the other Mexican food restaurants in Texas was their green dip.

Their green dip is so good and they seem to be the only ones making it. This dip is one of the things I miss the most about Texas. This should give you a solid idea of how awesome this dip is. So, imagine my delight when my friend Melanie told me she had the recipe! (I almost cried.) I didn't want to get my hopes up too high, but when you live in Oregon and you grew up on Tex-Mex..........
I made the dip and it was good! This copy cat recipe has to be close to the exact recipe, if not their exact recipe. Mine was quite a bit thicker then what they serve, but I wasn't sure how to go about thinning it. It was thick enough to hold my chip up. Feel free to leave a suggestion on how to thin dip.

Awesome Tex-Mex recipe for Avocado Humus. I got this appetizer recipe from my friend Colleen and thought I would share it.
