Now that the 100% Mexican avocado pulp processor, Guacamolito®, has had two years of positive experience in the market, the company has decided to step forward and will offer the traditional Mexican guacamole in the booming and unexplored market of New York City. The company will initially invest up to 5 million dollars in the project, called 'Guacamolito To Go'. Guacamolito® has sold over one million dollars in the United States, especially to local food chains and wholesalers in California, the state that consumes the most avocado in the country. To put it in perspective, The United States consumes 40% of the world's avocados, and a fifth part of this is bought in California; Thus, Guacamolito's plan to establish new offices in Los Angeles. Right now their headquarters are located in Mexico City. The company's CEO, Miguel Peinado González, mentioned that Guacamolito To Go's launch has great growth potential in New York due to its ecosystem, which makes it p...

It’s officially summer, which means we’re having fresh guacamole at least three times a week. I don’t know about you, but guacamole and chips are just the perfect summer snack. And while there’s really nothing better than good ol’ original guac, it’s sometimes fun to spice things up. Whether you’re trying to impress your friends with a new guacamole recipe or just want to excite your tastebuds, here are 7 ways you can spice up your guacamole all summer long: Edamame guacamole Looking for a unique and high protein alternative to regular guac? Just add some edamame! Edamame is super high in protein and great for those who follow a plant-based diet. Cheesy guacamole Sort of like queso and guac in one. Cheesy guacamole is everything you know and love about plain guac, but with the added decadence of cheese and a hint of spice from jalapeño. Pomegranate and pepita guacamole Pomegranate and pepitas with guac? Don’t knock it ’till you try it. This recipe is the perfect balance of sweet...

This year’s Fourth of July is different in ways that might have been hard to imagine in the past, but here we are. The pandemic and protests challenge even the most relaxed among us, but coming together, keeping a social distance, and celebrating our country’s independence couldn’t be more important in 2020. As for the following dish, it reminds us of our connection to Mexico and that inclusiveness is part of the American spirit.

While I love fresh-cut french fries, my favorite fried potato creation has always been the tater tot. I love the grated form and the extra crunch they provide, and they make me nostalgic for the days when my mom would make them at the beach. Like Kleenex, they are a rare brand name synonymous with a product. Ore-Ida holds the trademark.  Another snack I grew up eating at the beach were nachos. So I felt a double dose of nostalgia when I discovered totchos, which are tater tots and corn chips topped with chili, green onions, sour cream and queso. When you think about it, tater tots do make so much sense paired with nachos.  Advertisement: RELATED: Disney shared its famous peanut butter and jelly milkshake recipe, and it only has four ingredients This culinary invention comes from Woody's Lunch Box at Disney's Hollywood Studios. The restaurant in Toy Story Land features a classic American menu, including grilled cheese sandwiches and old-fash...

One of my all-time favorite foods is the churro, and I was so excited to finally try them in Spain last year on my very first trip to the Iberian peninsula. Though the churro gained popularity in Spain, the roots of this pastry actually trace back to China, where Portuguese merchants tried  youtiao . I've also had numerous delicious churros through the years while studying in Argentina and Mexico, where dulce de leche is a popular addition, and traveling across Latin America. I'm happy to report that the churros in Spain live up to the hype. But what's not to love about deep-fried dough sweetened with cinnamon and sugar? It's even better served with your favorite dipping sauce. For my roommate from Nuevo León, that's chocolate. You could also throw together a fresh fruit compote of guava or mango. The possibilities are truly endless. Advertisement: RELATED: Disney shared its famous peanut butter and jelly milkshake recipe, and it only has four i...

Room-temperature tomato vs. cold tomato Credit: Shutterstock Chill: Tomatoes can stay in the fridge for a few days without affecting flavor. Other than how to pronounce the word, perhaps the biggest tomato debate is over their storage. Should they absolutely never be kept in the refrigerator (but rather on the counter or other room temperature spot), or should everybody chill because the fridge is fine? What better way to settle the question than an exhaustive chemical analysis and a trained panel of sensory analysts to assess their flavor and smell? Researchers at the University of Göttingen studied ripe-picked tomatoes treated to mimic their usual path to consumers. They sat in cold storage at 12.5 °C for a day and at room temperature for 2 days. The difference in the tomatoes’ treatment began at what would have been the point of purchase, when some were put in the refrigerator and some were kept at room temperature. After 4 days, researchers measured the tomatoes’ sug...

Chipotle is famous for its guacamole — not only because people love it but also because it costs "extra." When the fast-casual chain recently shared its secret recipe on social media, fans went wild. It only takes a simple six ingredients and six steps to reach guac perfection. And the best part is you can put guac on absolutely everything, because it never costs extra at home.  The original version is a crowd-pleaser, but you may want to elevate it on a special occasion like a birthday party or Cinco de Mayo. Toast some pepitas — either in vegetable oil over low heat on the stove or inside a warm oven — and toss over your guac with crumbled queso fresco for a creamy and salty upgrade. Martha Stewart tops her go-to guac with cherry tomatoes and hard-boiled eggs, and trust this alumnus of her magazine: It's a beautiful combination.

Guac's not extra when you end up making it yourself. COLE SALADINO/THRILLIST When Chipotle released its guacamole recipe late last month, the world was... well, nonplussed, to be honest. It’s as easy to prepare a simple guacamole with a few ingredients as it is to jazz up with endless extras. So while it was kind of nice of Chipotle to add its recipe to the growing list of companies doing the same, it did seem just a bit unnecessary.  But absence, as they say, makes the heart grow fonder, and many of us have grown accustomed to fast casual and fast food flavors that are a little hard to come by these days. Any guac is great guac, and nothing beats homemade, but as you spend more and more time limited to the signature flavors available in your own kitchen, you may find yourself with a hankering for the eerily specific tastes you can only find at the friendly neighborhood chain. That’s why we tried Chipotle’s guacamole recipe. Here’s how it turned out.  Recomme...

Winter Caplanson In recent years, the avocado has become America’s darling, a super fruit beloved for its health benefits. But if you want to branch out from guacamole and avocado toast, here’s a dish that highlights the avocado’s enjoyable simplicity, courtesy of Attilio Marini, chef-owner of Cast Iron Chef Chophouse & Oyster Bar in New Haven. Marini’s take on crab cocktail, this chilled crab avocado is a dippable delight that allows the lump crab meat to stand out. “The weather is getting warmer and people don’t want to eat heavy, so this is great for an appetizer but it can also be a light meal,” Marini says. “You get so much flavor from very few ingredients — the freshness is great for summer dining.” For the best  Connecticut Magazine  content, plus the week's most compelling news and entertainment picks, delivered right to your inbox,  sign up for our weekly newsletter.

After indulging halfway through the Disney California Adventure Food and Wine Festival, it’s time for something a little lighter and healthier. Well, at least it’s the good kind of fat, I’m talking about Avocado!   It’s a popular fruit in Southern California. Avocado is super versatile. You can eat it on its own, put it on a burger, make guacamole, avocado toast, make it a sauce, and so much more. Its vibrant green color makes you feel like you’re really eating something from the earth. Credit: Disney Parks Food Both these dishes are a very fun creative way that accent avocado. Mixing the avocado with these types of food plays with the different types of textures that an avocado can have. If an avocado isn’t quite ripe yet, the texture is still buttery but more firm. If it’s more ripe, it has a softer, creamy texture with a hint of sweet.   Petite Impossible Burger with Guac and Pepper Jack Cheese- topped with melted Pepper Jack Cheese, fresh Guacamole and Tomato, on...
