South by Southwest Guacamole

The flavors of the Southwest blend nicely with SlimCados grown here. Instead of canned corn, you can use fresh corn kernels. This recipe comes from Brooks Tropicals.

Ingredients

  • 1 SlimCado avocado (reserve 2 pieces for garnish)
  • 1 15-oz can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 15-oz can sweet corn kernels, drained
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 1½ teaspoons cumin
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 3 tablespoons chopped cilantro
  • ¼ cup balsamic vinegar (balsamic vinegar will turn guacamole light brown; use clear vinegar for a greener color) 

  • Blue corn chips

Instructions

Cut a SlimCado in half, discard the seed, and scoop out the flesh into a large bowl. Cut two small pieces to use as garnish. Add the remaining ingredients. Combine to a chunky texture. Layer plastic wrap on the surface of the guacamole and refrigerate for 2 hours. Serve with a couple of SlimCado slices on top. Makes 3 cups.
