This is my own personal recipe that I have perfected over the years.
Ingredients:
2 ripe avocados
1/3 cup fresh pico de gallo
several large dashes of green Tabasco sauce (or a couple drops of red Tabasco)
several large dashes of Worcestershire sauce
1/2 tsp kosher salt
freshly ground black pepper
2 Tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
1/4 lime
Method:
- Cut avocados in half lengthwise and separate halves; scoop out pulp with a spoon and discard the seed and skin. Place avocado in a medium bowl and mash with a potato masher or fork.
- Stir in pico de gallo, Tabasco sauce (to taste), Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper and cilantro (if using). Squeeze lime juice into mixture and stir to combine.
- Serve immediately.
Notes:
Pico de gallo is a fresh salsa of tomatoes, onions and seasonings. It can usually be found in the refrigerated section of your grocery store, either in the produce aisle or where the refrigerated salsa is kept. If you can't find it you may substitute regular salsa -- or even chopped fresh tomatoes, onions and garlic.
To store leftovers (if you have any!) place in the smallest possible container and seal tightly to prevent exposure to air. Avocados turn brown when exposed to air, so you have to minimize the exposed surface area.
