[no mayonnaise]

I'd leave out the mayo that's just me. Messican food is usually more sour cream, no?

 

[Delicious-chefD]

I love mayonnaise so I like to slip a little in when I can makes guacamole more creamy in my opinion, but your right you may choose to skip the mayo... After all it is your guacamole

 

[no mayonnaise]

[Delicious-chefD]

Quesillo de Oaxaca Or Queso Fresco Or Cotija ?

Hola,

Do you suggest Quesillo de Oaxaca since it melts well, or a young fresh cow cheese which is slightly salty like Queso Fresco or Cotija which is an aged cow variety ?

Could this be made with a Valencian short grain rice or is arborio verses whole wheat rice; or a long grain white ?

I have product availability to Valencian and Italian rices of all varieties.

Thanks,
Margi Cintrano.

Mayo, sour cream + avocado could be very tasty, I do not know. What I do know it is Not called Guacamole.

 

[jennyema]

No mayo, cheese or sour cream in my guac.

I use jalapeño, garlic, lime juice salt and a smidge of cilantro.

Mexican Cheese Variety & Rice Question

Sincerely, Thanks for all the replies on all the other ingredients ...

*** However, I asked 2 specific questions:

1) Can I use VALENCIAN SHORT GRAIN RICE ? ( not or whole wheat or whole meal Brown rice ) and / or is LONG GRAIN VALENCIAN better for this recipe ? ( I live in Spain ).

2) I have availability to purchase MEXICAN CHEESE -- I asked which type in original post of 5th Sunday; oaxaca or cotija ?

Thanks so much.

Valencian Short Grain Rice verses Brown ?

@ Jade Turner,

I am writing to thank you for re-sending the recipe however, if you kindly re-read my note, I had just asked for confirmation on 2 questions:

a) Mexican cheese used in recipe ? Oaxaca ? Cotija ? Or a mix ?

b) Due to fact, I live in the Mediterranean, and brown rice is not so easy to find for starters, and personally:

I prefer Short Grain or Long Grain Valencian or Italian Arborio which is used to make risotto ---

Which rice best substitutes the brown ?

Thanks

Margaux.

I don't think these folks were replying to you directly, but to the thread in general. Just like I did above, Jadeturners used the "Quote" feature in their reply and wasn't necessarily reposting the recipe.

In answer to your questions, I always use long grain rice in MY Spanish rice dishes, Queso fresco for the cheese if I am using Mexican cheese, spouse does not like cotija, otherwise I use shredded cheddar.
