Guacamole Recipes for Super Bowl Sunday
From the California Avocado Commission
January 24, 2003

An estimated 40 million pounds of avocados will be eaten during Super Bowl-related festivities. The California Avocado Commission says that most of it will be eaten in the form of guacamole — transported from the hand to the mouth by a chip.

Classic Guacamole

Ingredients

4 avocados

1 teaspoon salt

3 tablespoons fresh lemon or lime juice

1/4 cup minced cilantro

1/2 cup diced onion

1/2 cup chopped tomato

1-2 jalapeños, seeded and minced

Directions

1. Cut the avocados in half and remove the seed.

2. Scoop out the pulp and place in a bowl.

3. Drizzle the pulp with lemon or lime juice and mash.

4. Combine with the remaining ingredients, mix well and serve.

Oakland or Tampa Bay Guacamole

If you want your gaucamole to represent the team your rooting on in the Super Bowl, make the Basic Gaucamole and add extras to make it special.

Basic Guacamole

Ingredients

4 ripe, large California avocados, peeled, pitted, mashed

1 teaspoon salt, or to taste

2 tablespoon fresh lime juice

Directions

Coarsely mash avocados; do not puree. Stir in lemon or lime juice and season to taste.

Prepare "add-ins" as directed below. Guacamole is best made as close to serving as possible. For short-term storage, seal in an airtight container with a piece of plastic wrap against the surface of the guacamole.

To serve, place guacamole in center of serving tray and arrange additional ingredients on platter to surround the guacamole. Serve with tortilla chips.

Guacamole Oakland Style

Ingredients

Basic Guacamole

2 garlic cloves finely chopped

2/3 cup black beans, rinsed and drained

1/2 cup chopped red onion

1/2 cup chopped tomato

2 pickled jalapeños, chopped

Directions

Oakland's signature color black is represented in the black beans. Two jalapeños are added to represent the teams extra spice!

Tampa Bay Style

Ingredients

Basic Guacamole

4 ounces cooked shelled and deveined small shrimp

1/2 cup diced green onion

1/2 cup diced yellow bell pepper

5 - 10 drops red pepper sauce

Tampa Bay's coastal location calls for shrimp. The red pepper sauce and yellow bell pepper represent the team's colors.
