So on our culinary adventures in Vegas, we needed a quick snack to hold us over before our dinner reservations at Bouchon. We stopped at Dos Caminos at the Palazzo.
We were intrigued by the crab guacamole, but saw for the same price we could get a sampler of all 3 of their guacs - original, crab, and mango habanero. We opted for the sampler.
As a self-professed wuss when it comes to heat, I was leery of the mango habanero, but knew my husband (once dubbed Mr. Spicy) would like it. But, the mango habanero was my favorite of the three. The habanero wasn't overpowering and mango gave it a nice cooling agent.
When we returned home, we thought we'd take a stab at recreating it. Just as delicious, and wasn't 18 bucks. Heat was constant, but mildly warm.
Mango Habanero Guacamole
3 avocadoes, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup white onion
1-2 habanero peppers, finely chopped (used 1 first time out)
1 large mango, diced
1/3 cup cilantro finely chopped
Juice of 1 lime
Salt as needed
Combine all ingredients in bowl and mash together. Let set for 1 hour for flavors to combine.
