Salgauc?
Ok, I struggled to come up with a good name for this but trust me…even with no name, you want to make this!
First, let me admit something to you. I’m not a huge guacamole fan. I’ll eat it but I don’t LOVE it the way many people do. It’s a texture thing. {Sorry Shopaholic…I’ll still order it at the Mexican restaurant though!}
Salsa = LOVE though.
One night, at our local Mexican restaurant (we’re regulars!), I mixed together the homemade guacamole and salsa. So delicious…perfection on a chip! Kind of like guacamole with pico de gallo’s less chunky cousin. ย It has been recreated many times in our house since.
So, I thought I would share the recipe with you. Feel free to call it what you wish…
Let’s get our stuff together:ย
Salsaย
– 2 15oz cans whole peeled tomatoes with juice (canned tomatoes…i know…gasp!)ย
– 2 cans diced tomatoes with chiles (Rotel is great!)ย
– 1/2 cup white onion, finely choppedย
– 2 cloves garlic, mincedย
– 2 jalapeno, halved, seeded and choppedย
– 1/4 tsp saltย
– 1/4 tsp sugarย
– 1/2 tsp cuminย
– 1/3 cup cilantro, roughly chopped (you can use more if you dig lots of cilantro)ย
– 2 Tbsp lime juice (~ 1 whole lime)ย
Guacamoleย
– 2 avocadosย
– 1/2 cup red onion, finely choppedย
– 1 serrano chile, mincedย
– 1 Tbsp lime juiceย
– 1 Tbsp cilantro, finely choppedย
– 1/2 tsp kosher saltย
– 1 roma tomato, seeded and diced
– pinch of cumin
Let’s make our salsa first. It’s super easy.ย
Throw the whole tomatoes in the food processor and give it a whirl.
Then, add everything else in and pulse until you get the consistency you want.
For the guacamole, remove the seed from the avocado and spoon into a bowl. Mix in all the other ingredients and smash to combine. {I don’t have any fancy tools for this and a fork works great!}
Ready for the magical final step? Mix the two together!ย ย
Enjoy.ย
Notes/Tweaks:ย
– I mix them together in small batches as we eat instead of all at the same time.ย
– I have also taken the super lazy route and mixed Jack’s salsa with Wholly Guacamole Spicy Guacamole too.
