Ingredients
- 3 large Ripe Hass avocados
- 2 whole Habanero peppers
- 3 tablespoons Sour orange juice (Naranja Agria)
- 0.25 cup Red onion
- 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro
- 1 medium Roma tomato
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
- 1 clove Garlic clove
- 2 sliced Radishes(optional)
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
Instructions
- 1
Place the whole habanero peppers and the unpeeled garlic clove in a dry skillet over medium-high heat, roasting until charred on all sides.
- 2
Remove the charred skin from the garlic and the stems from the habaneros; finely mince both into a paste (remove seeds for less heat).
- 3
In a small bowl, soak the finely diced red onion in the sour orange juice for 10 minutes to mellow the bite.
- 4
Halve the avocados, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a large molcajete or mixing bowl.
- 5
Coarsely mash the avocado, leaving some chunks for texture rather than making a smooth puree.
- 6
Fold in the habanero-garlic paste, the soaked onions (including the juice), and the diced tomato.
- 7
Stir in the chopped cilantro and sea salt, tasting to ensure the acidity and salt are balanced.
- 8
Garnish with sliced radishes and a tiny drizzle of olive oil before serving immediately with thick corn chips.
