3 cups cooked rice, brown or white, cold works best to mix it.
2 small or 1½ large ripe avocados
3-4 Tbsp fresh lime juice
½ - ¾ cup chopped fresh cilantro
½ teaspoon salt
Black pepper to taste
About 1 teaspoon minced garlic
Tiny pinch jalapeno paste (see below) Just enough for the flavor of the pepper without the heat
Instructions
If not using left over rice, cook 1 cup rice JUST until tender and cool or chill completely.
Mash the avocado in a medium bowl. Stir in the lime juice, cilantro, salt, pepper, garlic and jalapeno paste. Taste for seasonings. Fold in the rice.
This is so easy, you can adjust any of these flavorings as you like or add what you like.
Jalapeno paste:
When jalapenos are in season, I do this just to preserve them and have them on hand for salsa, guacamole, or this rice!
Cut the tops off the jalapenos, split them lengthwise down the middle then cut into several more chunks. Throw them in the food processor with enough lime juice to make the pepper stay in there chopping. Chop until very fine. Throw it in a zipper bag and freeze. You can cut some off with a sharp knife when you need it. Or you can freeze it in smaller portions, Ice cube size, whatever works for you.
