Guacamolé (Pepita and Queso Fresco)
I love the texture of this untraditional Guacamolé with cheese and pumpkin seeds, which is creamy and has no heat for those with a sensitive tummy.
5 firm-ripe avocados, halved, pitted and peeled
½ cup red onion, chopped
⅓ cup lime juice, freshly squeezed (~ 3 limes)
1½ cups queso fresco, crumbled, divided
1 cup pepita seeds (shelled pumpkin seeds), roasted, divided
2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
To Serve:
tortilla chips
Place avocados in a medium bowl; roughly mash with a fork. Add onion, lime juice, salt, 1¼ cups queso fresco and ¾ cup pepitas; stir gently just until combined. Drizzle with oil, and top with remaining ¼ cup each queso fresco and pepitas.
Makes 6 servings.
