FOOD & WINE: HERBED GUACAMOLE & CHIPS (QUICK MEAL)

.

I love Mexican food and here in Atlanta Georgia there is great Mexican restaurant in Atlantic Station, that I often visit with my friends call Rosa Mexicano. I go there purposely for one and one thing only - the fabulous and tasty Spicy Herbed Guacamole and Chips. 
.
In the restaurant these come as Appetizers but i love it so much, by the time i finish eating it I am just too full for the main meal. At Rosa Mexicano what i love about the restaurant is they make the guacamole right in front of you, so you can instruct whether you like a lil more/less of this ingredient or that ingredient. Since i have watched them do it many times in front of me, I have also learnt how to make it. It took several tries to get it right, but I think i have mastered it now.  Today I decided to share the menu here with you all.

.

First and foremost you need Imusa Molcajete (i call it earthware bowl) which you can buy from Target, Macy's or anywhere online (I got mine from Target for $20).

.

Ingredients: 

• 2 Ripened avocados, halved and pitted 3 Small red radishes, diced ? 
• Cup finely chopped cilantro 
• Cup snipped fresh chives Kosher salt or table salt, to taste Juice of 
• lime Bottled Chipotle Hot Pepper Sauce (optional) 

.

Directions: 

• Scoop avocado flesh and add the cilantro, chopped chives, lime juice, and chipotle hot pepper sauce. 
• Gently mash with until the desired consistency is reached. 
• Fold in diced radishes and season with salt to taste.

.

And finally you can eat it with any kind of chips you want. Personally i make my own roasted chips I make with plantain (i love my plantains), but that is another recipe i will post here later)
