Tips for a perfect result – healty avocado recipe –
- Tortilla chips are the Mexican version of nachos which you can find in any shop in the world. They are usually made of corn tortillas triangles, the same one they use to make tacos.
- In their original version, they come fried in oil however we have preferred to show you this healthy and cheaper option which is perfect when you are on a backpacking trip. We know that it is difficult to find ovens in hostel kitchens (which are working properly) and that is why we mentioned tortilla chips but as an optional version. If there is no oven, you can always get nachos instead.
- Choosing the right avocado is not difficult if you follow these simple steps:
- One of the most used technique is to lightly press avocado and if it is not very firm or super soft it is basically ready to use.
- Another way is to look under the avocado peduncle, if it is light green or tending to white colour, it is still ripe. If you see brown or very dark green colour, avocado is already overripe.
- The perfect avocado will have a bright green or yellowish colour.
- The last tip is pretty easy, ask the person selling avocados. If you want ´ready to eat avocado´, for sure this person will recommend you the best avocado at this point.
- When you are going to season the guacamole, add all ingredients slowly and taste it frequently. Sometimes an excess of chilli or lemon will make your guacamole inedible.
- If you add too much lemon, we recommend adding a bit of sunflower oil, press it with a fork and mix it well to incorporate the oil with the rest of the ingredients.
- We recommend using lime instead of lemon, however, in some countries, it might be hard to get. Lime will make the taste different and it is the original ingredient which is used in Mexico.
