Sometimes a meal in itself can be a simple avocado sliced in half and eaten with a spoon, packed full of nutrients like potassium, fiber and Vitamin K this fruit is great in all forms. One of my favorite forms of this is guacamole. In Jackson, you need to look no further than Hatch Taqueria and Tequilas for a great bowl of guac. They were willing to share their recipe with us this summer.
For Hatch the guacamole secret lies in muddling the cilantro, jalapeno, and a little extra lime juice prior to mixing it with the mashed avocados. It will really open up the flavor and add a little bit extra love in every bite.
Make it at home with the recipe below, or swing into Hatch, grab a seat at the bar and enjoy a bowl with any number of their top shelf tequilas.
