Rock-a-Mole with Santana

Carlos Santana - Smooth

Santana avocados (smooth...)

Man its a hot one

Like seven inches from the midday sun
I hear you whisper and the words melt everyone
But you stay so cool
My mu equita my Spanish Harlem Mona Lisa
Your my reason for reason
The step in my groove - 

These are the lyrics from Santana's smash hit with Rob Thomas (of Matchbox 20) for SMOOTH

One of my FAVORITE, rare, heritage avocados is the Santana. It's large, creamy and so smooth. So is Carlos Santana - coincidence? I think not.  ;-)  

Here's a guacamole recipe for the Santana avocado that is HOT (like 7 inches from the midday sun). It's smooth like Carlos. It's sexy like Rob Thomas.  Enjoy....

INGREDIENTS:
2 ripe Santana avocados
1 tablespoon Diva Guacamole seasoning
1 "sweet lime" - cut into wedges
1 tablespoon Tabasco sauce
1 teaspoon margarita salt (flakey, sea salt)
1 shot glass Patron tequila

DIRECTIONS:

1. Cut Santana avocado into quarters and de-pit.
2. PEEL the skin away to keep as much dark green flesh as possible. (Santana's peel easily.)
3. Cut into large chunks (see photo) with 2 knives.
4. Sprinkle liberally with sweet-lime juice, Diva Guacamole spices and Tabasco sauce.
5. Put sea salt on your hand - and take a lick.
6. Pour tequila into yourself (follow by biting on a wedge of sweet lime!)
7. Wash hands - then stir guacamole well and eat with tortilla chips.

Smooth.
