Avocado Wontons

If this is your first time visiting our blog, Welcome, and we would like to let you know what this blog is all about! We share delicious Mexican inspired recipes, information about national food and beverage plus the many uses of foods in hopes to spread the word about We Deliver Cancun.

We want you to enjoy your well deserved vacation, so we do the work while you enjoy some fun in the sun! If you or someone you know will be traveling to our little piece of paradise please check out the link! 

This snack recipe should come with a warning lable, "Caution: very addictive!" Where Chinese meets Mexican, the success is sure goodness! Here you go!

What you will need
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 3 avocados, halved, peeled and seeded
  • 1 roma tomato, diced
  • 1/4 cup diced red onion
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 8 egg roll wrappers
*You could also add corn or black beans to be more filling. 

How to create 
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium high heat.
In a medium bowl, gently mash avocados. Add tomato, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, salt and pepper, to taste, and gently toss to combine.
Working one at a time, place avocado mixture in the center of each wrapper. Bring the bottom edge of the wrapper tightly over the filling, folding in the sides. Continue rolling until the top of the wrapper is reached. Using your finger, rub the edges of the wrapper with water, pressing to seal. 
Working in batches, add egg rolls to the skillet and fry until evenly golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.

If you want to make home made cilantro dipping sauce
  • 3/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves, loosely packed
  • 1/3 cup sour cream
  • 1 jalapeno, seeded and deveined, optional
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 clove garlic
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
To make the cilantro dipping sauce, combine cilantro, sour cream, jalapeno, mayonnaise, garlic and lime juice in the bowl of a food processor; season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.

The Perfect Guacamole

Nothing says Mexican food like a bowl of delicious guacamole! It can be served simply with tortilla chips or tostadas (flat, crispy tortillas), on top of a burger or add it to any taco and you have a Mexican fiesta (party). The preparation is minimal and fairly inexpensive, but can amp up just about any gathering. In case this is the first time you are visiting our blog you should know we aren't here to necessarily give you cooking advice but to share with you what we do, kinda sneaky right?  We are an extension of Cancun Best Discounts called We DeliverBasically how it works is that you can go online, make an order from our online grocery store and the products will be delivered to your hotel or other rental for the week. Since there isn't much to talk about on the blog about delivering food, we thought we would share some of our favorite Mexican inspired recipes. These can be made at home or with the products you can buy online and have us deliver to you here in Cancun, so you can enjoy some great Mexican dishes in Mexico! We hope you try some of them and enjoy. Be sure to leave feedback in the comments section, we would love to hear what you think!

The Perfect Guacamole

What you will need ~
  • 3-4 ripe and soft avocados
  • 1 roma tomato
  • red onion
  • cilantro
  • 2-3 small limes
  • 1 jalapeño (if you would like it with a little kick)
  • Cajun seasoning (the secret weapon)

How to make ~

First begin by thoroughly cleaning all vegetables. If you have purchased veggies here in Mexico we always recommend using Microdyn to disinfect your fruits and veggies to insure safe consumption. 
(This product can be found on our website as well.) 
Chop the tomato, onion, cilantro and jalapeños. Half the limes and avocados. Scoop out the inside on the avocados into a medium sized bowl. To keep the guacamole greener longer put at least one of the avocado seeds into the mix. Juice 2 of the limes into the bowl, this will not only give flavor to your guacamole but help to keep it from going brown as fast. Keep one of limes apart to add last if you desire more lime flavor. Add in all your chopped goodies as well as some Cajun seasoning and stir. It's best to let set in the refrigerator for a little while to bring out all of the delicious flavors. 

Optional ingredients ~ 
  • Garlic
  • Black Beans
  • Mayonnaise to make it more creamy
  • Substitute serrano chilies for the jalapeño to make it less spicy.
  • Bacon crumbles
  • Chipotle peppers as a sub for Cajun seasoning.
  • Sour cream
  • Salt & pepper
