It’s that time again. Summer! (Well, almost). And that means time for margaritas and guacamole as the sun sets. Our favorite guacamole is from NYC’s Dos Caminos, and since there is a DC chef on Top Chef, we decided to be festive and track down the recipe. Yum!
Dos Caminos Guacamole
Chef Scott Linquist, Dos Caminos
Ingredients
2 tablespoons finely chopped cilantro leaves
2 teaspoons finely chopped white onion
2 teaspoons minced jalapeño or Serrano chilies, seeds and membranes removed, if desired
1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
2 large ripe Hass avocados from Mexico, peeled and seeded
2 tablespoons cored, seeded, and finely chopped plum tomatoes (1 small tomato)
2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lime juice
Instructions
In a medium size bowl, use the back of a spoon to mash 1 tablespoon of the cilantro, 1 teaspoon onion, 1 teaspoon of minced chile, and 1/2 teaspoon salt together against the bottom of the bowl.
Add the avocados and gently mash them with a fork until chunky-smooth. Fold the remaining cilantro, onion, and chile into the mixture. Stir in tomatoes and lime juice, taste to adjust the seasonings, and serve with a basket of warm corn tortilla chips.

Barefoot Contessa has another great guac recipe that’s a little easier to make. Less ingredients, but so delish.
