FAIRMONT MAYAKOBA SECRET GUACAMOLE
Guacamole is probably one of the most famous Mexican dishes in the world and one that everyone remembers.
It is no secret that taking the first bite, it generates a feeling of indescribable happiness.
That is why September 16 is a special day of the year to celebrate its existence and, indeed, to enjoy this incredible delicacy.
Guacamole is an avocado-based delicacy, a Mexican fruit with several vitamins that help keep our nervous system in good condition. So it is usually recommended in diets and is generally eaten very often.
At Fairmont Mayakoba, we have versatile ways of preparing it depending on the concept, season and restaurant, but it is always prepared with a lot of affection from our heartists.
Today we will share a special recipe with a secret ingredient so you can live the best Mexican experience at home by preparing an incredible and authentic Fairmont Mayakoba Guacamole.
Secret Ingredient:
It is not news that insects are included in dishes in Mexican gastronomy. One of them are chapulines: exquisite, crunchy.
With a herbal and citric flavor that reminds us of the countryside, although each person has a different perception, everyone agrees that it is a distinctive flavor of Mexico.
It is a pre-Hispanic delicacy among the Zapotecs and Mayans with more than 2500 years of tradition, and they were fundamental in the diet of our ancestors.
The consumption of grasshoppers has among its benefits:
-High protein content, its contribution is higher than that of meat.
-It helps the nervous system by providing vitamin B12.
-They are easy to digest.
For this occasion, we decided to use “Chapulines enchilada salt” in our guacamole to provide a unique experience that connects with ancient cultures in gastronomy and allows us to perceive the perfect balance of spiciness.
