Babalu-style Tableside Guacamole
Jackson, Mississippi's premiere tapas and taco restaurant, Babalu, is preparing the best freshly made guacamole right before customers' eyes practically 24/7! Here's how they do it.
2 avocados, halved and seeded
1 1/2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
1 1/2 tablespoons finely minced red onion
1 1/2 tablespoons chopped sun-dried tomatoes
1 tablespoon green onions, sliced thinly on the bias
Salt to taste (1/2 teaspoon or more)
Slice, spoon and scoop avocado in one fell swoop into a molcajete. Pour lime juice over avocado to coat evenly. Follow with remaining ingredients, making sure you sprinkle salt over all ingredients to season well. Smash but be sure to leave some of the mixture a little chunky. Serve with freshly-fried corn chips (and margaritas)! Serves 2 to 4.
