Ingredients

Guacamole

  • ¼ – ½ jalapeno
  • ¼ Cup packed cilantro leaves
  • 1/16 red onion
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 3 medium avocados
  • 8 cherry tomatoes diced
  • juice from ½ lime
  • tsp salt
  • tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp pepper

Chili Spiced Oil

  • 3 Tablespoons olive oil
  • ¼ teaspoon chili powder
  • teaspoon paprika

Toppings

  • 3 Tablespoons Pickled Shallots
  • 1 ½ tsp cotija cheese
  • 3 Tablespoons toasted pumpkin seeds

Instructions

  • Make Guacamole: Place jalapeno, cilantro, red onion, and garlic clove in a mini food processer and process until finely chopped. Scrape into a medium mixing bowl.
  • Add all remaining Guacamole ingredients to the bowl and gently toss to evenly disperse ingredients.
  • Make Chili Spiced Oil: Add Chili Spiced Oil ingredients to small bowl and stir to blend.
  • To serve: On an individual small plate, spread ½ Tablespoon Chili Spiced Oil. Scoop ⅙ of the Guacamole on top of oil. Sprinkle with cotija and pumpkin seeds. Add pickled shallots to the top and drizzle with a tiny amount of the oil. Repeat for remaining servings. Serve with chips of veggies.

Notes

  • Serve with tortilla chips (see below for my favorite brand) and/or a variety of raw vegetables.
  • I like McEvoy Ranch jalapeño olive oil in the chili spiced oil for a little more kick.
  • Adjust jalapeño in the guacamole to your personal spice preference.
Preferred ingredients – olive oil (not heated): McEvoy Ranch Organic Extra Virgin or Jalapeno Olive Oil, Tortilla Chips: Late July Snacks Thin and Crispy Organic Tortilla Chips with Chia and Quinoa
