Pepitas are roasted and salted pumpkin seeds, and are a wonderful crunchy addition to salads, and in this case, an interesting twist on the standard guac.
(serves 6)
5 firm-ripe avocados, halved, pitted, and peeled
1/2 red onion, finely chopped
Kosher* salt, to taste*
1/3 cup fresh lime juice (from about 3 limes)
1&1/2 cups queso fresco (Mexican cheese*), crumbled, divided
1 cup roasted pepita seeds, divided
2 T. EVOO
Place avocados in a med. bowl; roughly mash with a fork. Add onion, lime juice, salt, 1&1/4 cup queso fresco, and 3/4 cup petitas; stir gently just until combined. Drizzle with oil, and top with remaining 1/4 cup each queso and pepitas. Serve with warm tortillas chips*, and a cold beer* or margarita*, or lemonade*.
