Number Of Ingredients 10

Roasted Garlic:
1 whole head garlic
1 1/2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
Guacamole:
3 medium, fully ripe avocados, halved, pitted
juice of 1 lime
1/3 cup fresh cilantro
1 shallot, minced
2 small jalapeno chilies, stemmed, seeded, minced
1 tsp. salt

Steps:

For the roasted garlic, heat the oven to 375 degrees. Place the garlic head on a sheet of heavy-duty aluminum foil; rub with the olive oil. Wrap the garlic securely in the foil; roast until tender; 50-60 minutes. Remove from oven; set aside to cool at room temperature. Unwrap the garlic; halve crosswise with a serrated knife. Squeeze out the softened garlic pulp into a small glass bowl, or scoop it out with a teaspoon or small knife. Cover the bowl; refrigerate until ready to use. Scoop the avocado flesh into a mixing bowl; pour the lime juice over. Lightly mash until still slightly chunky; stir in the cilantro, 1-2 Tbsp. of the roasted garlic, shallot, jalapeno & salt. Serve immediately with corn tortilla chips.
