While guacamole now is almost as American as onion dip, every region of Mexico has its own version. In Puebla, walnuts and pomegranate seeds are used extensively—a regional style adapted by Chef Adler. It’s one example of how restaurants are taking a deeper dive into Mexican cuisine to expose customers to variations on the theme.

1 tsp. chopped chile de arbol
