Just Like Rosa Mexicano Guacamole

1 tbsp. finely chopped white onion

1 tbsp. fresh cilantro (chopped)

 2 tsp. finely chopped jalapeno

1 tsp. salt

Guacamole:

1 medium ripe avocado

2 1/2 tbsp. plum tomatoes (diced)

1 tbsp. fresh cilantro (chopped)

1 tbsp. finely chopped white onion

Salt (to taste)

1 1/2 – 2 tsp. fresh lime juice (*This should be added and definitely added if you do not plan to serve immediately, Thanks Restaurant Refugee for the heads up!)

For the paste: Grind the onion, cilantro, jalapeno and salt together and mash until all ingredients become a paste. Set aside.

For the guacamole: Cut and take out the pit of the avocado. Scoop out the inside of the avocado being careful not to mash the avocado. Cut the avocado into large squares and gently fold in the paste. Add in the tomato, cilantro, onion and fold in gently being careful to keep the avocado in large pieces. Add in salt if necessary. Serve.

*Johnna’s tip: This is it. This is the guacamole that we had been looking for. A year ago, you could not have paid us to put our lips to anything with avocado. That was until we came across the guacamole @ Rosa Mexicano…delicious. We couldn’t stop eating it once we started and were disturbed to find that this is the only place that makes it like this (*Trust us, we searched high and low). We, however, feel that anything that can be made in a restaurant can be made at home and hence, our hunt began for Rosa Mexicano guacamole recipes. We think we’ve found it and thoroughly enjoyed this treat last night. Pair with your favorite tortilla chips or use as a topping for fish tacos. Enjoy!
