Take Your Guacamole to the Next Level with This Flavorful Twist
Get ready to celebrate National Guacamole Day with a twist straight from Melinda’s Foods! In a recent "Perfect guacamole recipe can be yours with these chefs' secrets: 'All about the freshness'", the guacamole game gets elevated, thanks to none other than David "Chef Fig" Figueroa, the president and co-founder of Melinda's Foods. His insights give us a taste of the love and tradition that go into every Melinda's product.
Figueroa shares the rich history of guacamole, tracing it back to the ancient Aztecs who called it "ahuaca-mulli," meaning "avocado mixture." Guacamole’s roots may be ancient, but Chef Fig brings a fresh, modern approach with a family-inspired twist that’s sure to take your guac to the next level.
Chef Fig reminisces about his mom's guacamole, claiming it to be the best he’s ever tasted – a statement that says a lot coming from a culinary expert! In the article, he generously shares his personal recipe: diced chilies, cilantro, onions, lime juice, and kosher salt. But the real magic lies in his secret tip: "Mix all those goodies in a separate bowl before you touch the avocado. And for a little something extra, toast the chilies," Chef Fig advises. Simple yet game-changing advice from a guacamole aficionado.
Ready to take your guacamole to the next level? Try out Chef Fig's expert tips and enjoy the rich, fresh flavors in every bite.
