Stage Three Guacamole from Chef Rick Bayless

In his cookbook, Mexican Everyday, Rick Bayless offers three stages of guacamole suitable for every occasion. We have adapted the stage three version here for our Super Bowl party menu. The brightness of cilantro and white onions combines with the zip of Serrano chiles in the mild coolness of avocados. It’s a perfect mixture of flavors and textures that will have your guests craving more. You may also enjoy Chef Bayless' tips for quick-grilling ten great foods.
