Zesty Guacamole

Zesty Guacamole

Avocados are one of my favorite foods and use them in many different dishes, even desserts!

One of my all time favorite dishes to fix with avocados is definitely the mighty guacamole. I use guacamole as a dip with tortilla chips or vegetables and I also use it as a topping for fish, chicken and even burgers.

I like my guacamole chunky but if you prefer a smooth version, just mash some more – it’s a simple thing to do!

Ingredients:

  • 2 ripe avocados
  • 1/4 cup diced tomatoes
  • 2 Tbs. diced red onion
  • 1 Tbs. chopped jalapenos
  • 1 clove of garlic, minced
  • 1 Tbs. lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp. fresh lime juice
  • 1/4 tsp. Tabasco sauce
  • 1/2 tsp. ground cumin
  • salt and pepper

Directions:

Slice avocados in half and remove the pit and the skin.  Mash avocados with a fork until there are medium/small lumps left. Stir in remaining ingredients; mix well. Serve immediately or cover tightly and chill for up to 4 hours. Serve with tortillas.
