Guacalsa

August 8, 2012 By Shannah 18 Comments

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.  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: 
Salsa 
– 2 15oz cans whole peeled tomatoes with juice (canned tomatoes…i know…gasp!) 
– 2 cans diced tomatoes with chiles (Rotel is great!) 
– 1/2 cup white onion, finely chopped 
– 2 cloves garlic, minced 
– 2 jalapeno, halved, seeded and chopped 
– 1/4 tsp salt 
– 1/4 tsp sugar 
– 1/2 tsp cumin 
– 1/3 cup cilantro, roughly chopped (you can use more if you dig lots of cilantro) 
– 2 Tbsp lime juice (~ 1 whole lime) 

Guacamole 
– 2 avocados 
– 1/2 cup red onion, finely chopped 
– 1 serrano chile, minced 
– 1 Tbsp lime juice 
– 1 Tbsp cilantro, finely chopped 
– 1/2 tsp kosher salt 
– 1 roma tomato, seeded and diced
– pinch of cumin

Let’s make our salsa first. It’s super easy. 
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!  


Enjoy. 

Notes/Tweaks: 
– I mix them together in small batches as we eat instead of all at the same time. 
– I have also taken the super lazy route and mixed Jack’s salsa with Wholly Guacamole Spicy Guacamole too.
