Ingredients

  • Yield: 1 kilogram
  • Ingredients
  • 150 gr white onion, chopped
  • ½ cup fresh lime juice
  • 800 gr avocado
  • 100 gr cilantro, chopped
  • 90 gr chile serrano, chopped and seeded, or to taste
  • Salt, to taste
  • 100 gr Pomegranate seeds
  • 150 gr Requesón (white moist cheese—the Mexican version of ricotta)
  • Corn tortilas, cut in triangles and fried, on the side

Method

Soak the onion in lime juice for half an hour, and then drain. Carefully mash the avocado in a bowl or molcajete (a traditional lava-stone mortar with pestle). Add the cilantro, onion and chile serrano. Season with salt and pepper. Serve the guacamole in a elegant plate and decorate with the pomegranate seeds, the requesón cheese, and the tortilla triangles.
Note: a chapulin painted in gold can be added to the guacamole simulating the Mexican jewel
