Ingredients
Home-kitchen amounts for 4 — standard home-cooking quantities for this dish, not the chain’s recipe (chains do not publish theirs). Difficulty: Easy.
- 3 ripe avocados
- ½ cup pico de gallo (diced Roma tomato, Spanish onion, coriander, lime juice)
- Juice of 1 lime
- ½ tsp fine salt
- 1 small jalapeño, finely diced (optional)
- Corn chips, to serve
Method
- Dice the tomato, onion and coriander for the pico de gallo and toss with half the lime juice and a pinch of salt.
- Halve the avocados, remove the stones, and scoop the flesh into a bowl.
- Mash roughly with a fork — chunky, not smooth — then fold in the pico de gallo, the rest of the lime juice, the salt and the jalapeño if using.
- Hold back a spoonful of pico de gallo to scatter on top for serving.
- Taste and adjust the salt and lime. Serve at once with corn chips. Tip: GYG’s guac is chunky and fresh, never smooth — stop mashing while you can still see pieces of avocado — and make it just before serving, because it browns quickly once it meets the air.
