Guacamole mole mole mole!!!!

I love Gucamole - guac and chips can be so addicting. Some people are turned off by it because of how fattening Avocados are, while not being so filling. Avocados are in fact fatty, but they have the "good fat" so if you eat it in moderation, it's ok.

Guacamole is so easy to make, it's a great starter, side or garnish to a spanish dinner - A Mexican dinner isn't complete without Guac. Must serve with tortilla chips!!!

I like my guacamole chunky, but if you don't, just mash the avocado up more until you get the consistency you want. My heat is the jalepeno, but feel free to add pepper if you want.



Ingredients: Serves 4
  • 1 Ripe Haas Avocado
  • 1 Small-Med Sized Tomato, chopped
  • 1 tbs Red Onion, chopped
  • 1 Small Jalepeno Pepper, diced
  • A bit of Celantro (optional), diced
  • 1/2 Lime, squeezed
  • Salt to taste
Directions:
Cut the avocado in half and scoop it out with a spoon into a bowl. Mash it up with your spoon, and add in the tomatoes, onion, jalepeno, celantro, salt and mix up. Finally, mix in the lime - this will add a nice citrus taste and prevent the guacamole from turning brown. Serve immediately...  but if you need to wait before eating, keep the pit in the bowl/container - the avocado won't brown when the pit is in there.
