CHIPOTLE CHICKEN THIGHS WITH CHUNKY GUACAMOLE

Steps:

• Season chicken with paprika and salt and pepper, to taste. Heat the extra-virgin olive oil, a couple of turns of the pan, in a Dutch oven or large high-sided skillet with a lid. Add the chicken and brown on all sides. Remove the chicken to a plate and spoon off the excess fat. Add the chorizo and brown a couple of minutes, then remove it to a plate. Stir in the carrots, onions, garlic, thyme and chipotle, and cover the pot. Reduce heat a bit, and cook for 7 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the tomatoes and bring to a bubble, then add the chicken and the chorizo back to the pot and simmer for 7 to 8 minutes more to cook through. Cool completely and store in the refrigerator for a make-ahead meal.
• To reheat, add 1 cup of stock to the chicken in a Dutch oven and cover with a lid. Cook over medium heat, until the sauce bubbles, then gently stir and simmer uncovered for 10 minutes.
• Heat the tortillas or bread and set aside.
• Halve and gently dice the avocados into large chunks. Add them to a small bowl and douse with the lime juice. Season with salt, to taste, and lightly mash.
• Arrange the chicken in shallow bowls topped with sauce and a mound of avocado, tomatoes, parsley and onions. Serve with tortillas or bread, for mopping.

SMOKY GUACAMOLE

Steps:

• Pit and scoop out avocados into a bowl. Add the onion, garlic, peppers, adobo sauce, cilantro, lime zest, lime juice, and salt. Mash and taste to adjust salt. Serve with chips.

TAQUERIA GUACAMOLE

Steps:

• Halve avocados lengthwise around pit. Remove pit with a large spoon, then scoop out flesh into a bowl. Squeeze the lemon juice into bowl. Add tomato, onion, and jalapeno, and mash guacamole with a fork to desired consistency. Season guacamole with salt, to taste.

GRILLED GUACAMOLE

Steps:

• Heat a grill pan to medium heat and place the avocados and jalapenos in the pan cut-side down. Grill until the avocados and jalapenos start to char, 3 to 5 minutes.
• In a medium bowl, douse the garlic and onions with the lemon and lime juices. Season liberally with salt and set aside to allow the flavors to marry.
• Scoop the avocado flesh from the skins. Place a metal cooling rack over the bowl. Working with one half at a time, place the avocado cut-side down on the rack and press down, pushing it through the rack. The rack will dice it as its being added to the bowl. Repeat for the remaining halves. Finely chop the jalapenos and add to the guacamole. Mash with a fork until fairly smooth. Adjust the salt, and then serve.

GUACAMOLE SALAD

Steps:

• Arrange vegetables on platter. Mix lemon and garlic, hot sauce and salt. Stream in extra-virgin olive oil while whisking dressing. Pour lemon dressing over the salad and serve.

GARLICKY HOLY GUACAMOLE!

Steps:

• Cut avocados in half around the pit. Separate the halves. Pop out pit with spoon, then scoop flesh of avocados into a bowl. Squeeze the juice of a lemon over the avocados. Squeeze the juice with the lemon halves facing cut-side up, allowing the juice to spill down over the sides of the lemon into the bowl. This method keeps the seeds in the lemon and out of the guacamole. Add garlic, jalapeno, tomato, onion and salt to the bowl. Mash and mix the ingredients into a chunky dip using a fork. Serve with blue corn tortilla chips.
