Mock a Mole Low Fat Guacamole

on


Guacamole is a delicious and versatile dip that can be enjoyed on its own or as part of a larger meal. However, guacamole can also be high in fat and calories. If you are looking for a healthier option, you can try making mock a mole guacamole.

Mock a mole guacamole is made with peas instead of avocados, which reduces the fat and calorie content. The peas are blended with other ingredients, such as tomatoes, onions, cilantro, and spices, to create a dip that is just as flavorful as traditional guacamole.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup frozen peas, thawed

  • 1/2 cup chopped tomatoes

  • 1/4 cup chopped onion

  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro

  • 1 tablespoon lime juice

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions:

  1. In a food processor, combine the peas, tomatoes, onion, cilantro, lime juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

  2. Blend until smooth.

  3. Serve with tortilla chips or vegetables.

Tips:

  • For a spicier dip, add a pinch of cayenne pepper.

  • For a creamier dip, add a dollop of sour cream or yogurt.

  • For a healthier dip, use low-fat or fat-free ingredients.

Variations:

  • Add cooked chicken or shrimp to the dip for a more substantial snack or appetizer.

  • Use different types of tomatoes, such as Roma tomatoes or cherry tomatoes, for a different flavor profile.

  • Add different types of herbs, such as basil or oregano, for a more complex flavor.

Enjoy!

Here is a story about how I came to love mock a mole guacamole:

I first tried mock a mole guacamole at a friend's house. I was skeptical at first, but I was pleasantly surprised by how delicious it was. The peas added a creamy texture and a slightly sweet flavor that balanced out the acidity of the tomatoes and lime juice. I was hooked!

Since then, I've made mock a mole guacamole many times for myself and my friends. It's a great dip for parties or potlucks, and it's also a healthy and satisfying snack. I highly recommend giving it a try!

Here are some tips and tricks for making mock a mole guacamole:

  • Make sure to use thawed peas. Frozen peas will be too hard and will not blend smoothly.

  • Don't overblend the guacamole. You want it to be smooth, but you don't want it to be mushy.

  • Serve the guacamole with tortilla chips or vegetables. It's also great on tacos, burritos, and salads.

  • Enjoy!
