Blue Ribbon Recipe

This guacamole recipe is bursting with so much flavor. Toasting cumin seeds and then grinding them adds a lovely smoky flavor to the guacamole. Lemon juice adds a bit of tang and cilantro provides the fresh flavor you expect in guac. We loved the chunks of avocado in every bite. It is simply delicious! Bring this to your next fiesta and it will be a hit.

How To Make chunky guacamole with cumin (guacamole con cumino)

Step 1

In a small skillet, toast the cumin seeds over moderately high heat, shaking the skillet until fragrant.

Step 2

Then finely grind with a mortar and pestle or in a clean spice grinder (making sure there is no leftover spice residue in the grinder from previous use).
Step 3

Scoop half of the avocados into a large bowl and coarsely mash them with a fork.
Step 4

Stir in lemon juice, cilantro, onion, garlic, jalapeno, and ground cumin.
Step 5

Scoop small chunks of the remaining avocados into the same bowl; stir lightly with a spoon. Season the guacamole with salt and serve at room temperature or lightly chilled. If you are going to serve more then two hours later push one or two avocado pits into the mixture, cover, and refrigerate. The pits will keep your guacamole nice and green until serving time. When ready to serve remove pits and discard.
Step 6

Serve with your favorite tortilla or taco chips. Enjoy!
