Guacamole
This guacamole is packed with bold, chile flavor, dotted with red onion, and spiked with puckery lime juice and a touch of orange juice to balance. Buy the Hass variety of avocado, with their textured black skin, for its luscious, creamy flesh and rounded, full flavor.

Ingredients
3 large avocados (skinned and seeded)
2 Roma plum tomatoes (halved and seeded)
1 tsp fine sea salt
1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1 tsp garlic powder
2/3 cup fresh cilantro leaves (stems removed, plus more for garnish)
1 Tbsp fresh orange juice
2 Tbsp fresh lime juice
2 serrano chiles (halved and seeded)
1/2 medium red onion (skinned and halved)
Step by step
Add the red onion and the serrano chilies to the blender and blend on speed 1 for 5 seconds. Add lime juice, orange juice, cilantro, garlic powder, pepper, and salt. Blend on speed 3 for 3 seconds. Add 1 of the tomatoes and 1½ of the avocados. Blend on Speed 3 for 2 seconds. Add the remaining avocado and tomato, and pulse until guacamole reaches desired consistency. Transfer to a bowl, garnish with fresh chopped cilantro and serve immediately.
CHEF’S NOTES: For a smooth guacamole (for drizzling/pouring), add an extra Tbsp of orange juice and, after adding remaining avocado and tomato, blend all ingredients on speed 3 until smooth.
