Guacamole
Recipe by El Segundo Sol
El Segundo Sol serves up some of the freshest, most authentic Mexican food on the Las Vegas Strip, so when they told us they were going to let us in on their secret of what makes their guacamole so freakin’ delicious, we were all ears. Aside from always starting with the freshest ingredients, Chef adds oranges to the guac. The oranges brighten it up and further accent some of the familiar flavors that we know and love.
First, the raw oranges, Serrano peppers, onions, garlic, kosher salt and lime juice get muddled up. By muddling them, the pulp and the juices are released. From there, mix in with the avocado, tomatoes, cilantro and mix it all together.
