Active: 10 min
Yield: 4 to 6 servings

Ingredients

  1. 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  2. 1 serrano chile, seeded and roughly chopped
  3. 2 tablespoons pine nuts
  4. Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  5. 1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
  6. 2 ripe Hass avocados, halved, pitted and diced
  7. 2 tablespoons lime juice

Instructions

  1. Put the garlic, pine nuts, serrano and some salt in a mortar and pestle and mash to a chunky, pesto-like consistency. Add the cilantro and continue to mash; the pesto should be very coarse.
  2. Put the avocados and lime juice in a bowl and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Gently fold in the pesto until just combined, being careful not to mash the avocado too much.

Delicious. A nice twist on guacamole that was a great addition to the fish tacos.

I didn’t care for the Pesto. Prefer Basil anytime over cilantro…Plus, I have a mortar and pestle. Get’s kind of messy. If you make this, just use a food processor…

Little spicey with the Serrano pepper but this was a great addition for the fish taco.
