They may be newly minted Vendy Award winners, but Fernando and Yolanda Martinez are still the same as they were before Saturday’s decisive victory over outer-borough vendors. As such, they gladly gave us the recipe for the simple-but-perfect guacamole from their home state of Pueblo.

Pueblan Guacamole

From Fernando and Yolanda Martinez of the Country Boys Taco Truck.

Serves 4-5

5 Mexican avocados

5 jalapeno peppers

1 large Spanish onion

Salt

Pick avocados that are soft but firm. Take up to five peppers and lightly boil until skin peels away easily. Smash or blend jalapenos into a pulp. Mince onions into small squares. Smash avocados in a molcajete grinding stone or other container. Add onions, jalapeno pulp and mix until well blended. Salt to taste.
