You would expect a GREAT guacamole from Gollita Gonz\u00e1lez<\/a>, a tremenda cocinera of traditional Mexican dishes. And you would be right. Gollita\u2019s guacamole is a hit at every family and friends gathering at her home in Illinois. And the winner of Familia Kitchen\u2019s Your Favorite Guacamole Recipe Contest<\/a>, por supuesto!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While growing up in San Luis Potos\u00ed, Mexico<\/a>, in a family of seven, Gollita learned how to cook from her mother. The legacy continues: Gollita\u2019s traditional Mexican recipes are some of the most popular with the Familia Kitchen community of homecooks. Today, this Chicago-based abuela is teaching her three daughters, son and grandkids the authentic comida techniques and traditions she learned back in San Luis Potos\u00ed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taste her comida\u2019s star quality for yourself in the recipes she\u2019s shared with Familia Kitchen, including: Gollita\u2019s Mexican Porkchops with Tomato and Onion<\/a>, Gollita\u2019s Essential Mexican Rice<\/a>, Gollita\u2019s Mexican Caldo de Pollo<\/a>, and Gollita\u2019s Essential Mexican Recaudo<\/a>. (While you\u2019re at it, check out her youngest daughter Gracie’s Chilaquiles Verdes<\/a> and oldest daughter Sagra\u2019s shrimp ceviche<\/a>!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gollita\u2019s recipe for guacamole is notable for its timeless simplicity and bold flavors. Be sure to tiny-mince the garlic clove before you mix the ingredients together to let its flavor seep into every bite. And if you want more heat, add the optional minced and seeded jalape\u00f1o. Serve with tortilla chips,<\/a> homemade or store bought\u2014and you\u2019ll have a memorably great guacamole to impress your guests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
