Equipment

• bowl
• avacado slicer/scooper (or spoon)
• Fork
• knife

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 2 avocados firm, but not hard
• 1 tomato
• 1/2 lime
• 1 slice red onion chopped fine
• 1 jalapeno Pepper or Ghost pepper, if you're brave!
• cilantro a few leaves to taste
• 1 clove garlic chopped very fine
• salt & pepper to taste
• 1 bag organic tortilla chips blue are healthiest

Instructions

 

• Slice the avocados and scoop the meat into a medium size bowl.
• Squeeze 1/2 a lime onto the avocado.
• Cut into pieces: scallion or red onion, garlic, tomato (take out the seeds).
• Dice the jalapeño very fine (taking out the seeds will make it milder).
• Add salt and pepper to taste.
• Chop the cilantro fine.
• Smash the avocado with a fork and gently fold in the other ingredients. I like my guacamole chunky.

   
• The key is to taste along the way.
• Taste after adding 1/2 the jalapeño, salt and 1/2 a lime. Add more of each to taste.
• Fold in a bit of cilantro and taste.
• When you're happy with the flavors, transfer to a serving bowl. 

Notes

NOTE* Place an avocado pit on top of the guacamole to slow any discoloration. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for 10 – 20 minutes – serve with chips.

If your taste buds or dietary requirements dictate, you can replace or delete ingredients and it will still be delicious.

-Scallions or red onion

-Lime or lemon

-Cilantro can be omitted

-Jalapeño can be omitted or exchanged for a hotter or milder pepper
