holy guacamole

I don't mean to toot my own horn, but I make a damn good guacamole. It's my specialty. I make it as a snack far too often, and it's good every time.

It's such a simple recipe, and it's guaranteed to be a crowd pleaser.

Because I'm so nice, and because Cinco de Mayo is just around the corner, I'll finally share my recipe with the world. No one knows it yet. Not even my family.


Ingredients

3 large ripe avocados
1/2 a white onion (finely diced)
A handful of cilantro (finely chopped)
Juice from 1 lemon

Juice from 1 lime
Salt
Pepper

Optional ingredients: jalapenos, tomatoes

1. Cut up avocado into cubes, then spoon into a bowl (I like to cut inside the skin then scoop out)


2. Mash avocado to desired texture
3. Cut up onions and cilantro - add to avocado
4. Add lemon/lime juice
5. Add salt/pepper
6. Taste and enjoy with your favorite tortilla chip

Easy easy easy.

  7. Yum! I love making guacamole! I don't care for cilantro, so I leave that out -- but I do add tomatoes! I add a teeny pinch of cumin sometimes - it's great!
