GUACAMOLE PREPARATION
Add 6 ounces of avocado pulp in a bowl; toss the guacamole ingredients and mix gently to incorporate ingredients evenly.
STUFFED CHILI
Make a “T” cut along the banana chili to remove the seeds and veins. One the chili is cleansed, fill with 1 ounce of guacamole and 1/3 oz. of the oaxaca cheese.
Wrap the chili with the serrano ham and put it on a previously oiled pan. Stir fry the chili until the serrano ham gets crispy.
