Ever since I got back from NYC, I’ve been craving Mexican food pretty much every other day. So much so that I’ve been buying those No Name burritos from Pivik (it’s a convenience store at uOttawa) to get my fix. While those burritos are surprisingly delicious, I decided to find me a good guacamole recipe that’ll hit the spot.
I think Chipotle is widespread in the U.S. the way Thai Express is HUGE here. Unfortunately, while the U.S. has Tim Hortons now (*cries*), Canada is still lacking a decent Mexican fast food chain. I know Mucho Burrito exists but it’s not nearly as popular as I know Chipotle is.
Anyway, the reason I mentioned Chipotle was because I had some of their guacamole when I was in NYC and OMG. Heaven. I had no idea what they put in that stuff because a) it was mushed into my gigantic burrito, and b) I was eating it too fast to try and figure it out.
I found this recipe that was supposedly like Chipotle’s Guacamole recipe, and I liked what I saw, but I decided to add my own twists to it. Here’s the recipe that inspired my post. I adjusted the amount of ingredients and added me some garlic, and voilà ! DELICIOSO.
Tips/Things I learned:
- I procrastinate too much with food.
- How to chop an onion (Gordon Ramsay almost looks high in this though. The camera is like jumping around him all sporadically) <–Oy Meskey, I use that word cause of you. Oh memories.
- Lime = delicious. Also helps keep the avocado from oxidizing.
- When storing the guacamole, use some clear plastic wrap directly onto it to keep it from oxidizing. Squeeze out all the air and then cover with a lid. Yay no brown stuff!
- While chopping the cilantro, I felt like I was at home. Mmmm so much Viet food has cilantro <3
