Guacamole is carne asada's best friend. This variation is inspired by the version served in my family's restaurant and my mother's love for oregano, We don't use tomato because it can make it too watery. The base of this guacamole is blended first, then the avocado is added afterward. This creates a more uniform and versatile texture that can be universally enjoyed in a taco, with our Cheese and Chicharrón Board (page 36), with grilled seafood, or anything really. We never shy away from chile or lime juice. If your blender has trouble blending everything, you can add a bit of water to help it get started.

This granola recipe from The Dahlia Bakery Cookbook is sweeter and more flavorful than any I've made before, for a couple of reasons. First, the addition of orange juice adds a nice citrus-y sweetness; but the orange juice also provides added moisture to the oat mixture which results in it forming better clumps than other granolas I've made. Cooking it a bit longer at a lower temperature may have helped in that regard too Another factor may have been that the dried fruits were not added until after the granola was baked; the fruit was more moist and chewy and added a superb contrast in texture to the crunchy grains.
