Guacamole
 
Ingredients
  • ¼-1/3 cup finely chopped red onions
  • 2 tsp. chopped garlic, about 1-2 cloves depending on size
  • 1 jalapeno, seeded and deveined, chopped
  • ½ teaspoon cumin
  • 3 ripe avocados
  • 1-2 tbsp. lime juice, 1-2 limes depending on how juicy limes are
  • ½ large tomato, seeded and diced
  • ¼ c. cilantro, chopped
  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly ground pepper
Instructions
  1. Add red onion, garlic, jalapeno, and cumin into a large plastic bag.
  2. Cut the avocados in half and remove pits. Using a dull knife, like a butter knife, slice a grid pattern in the avocado making sure to not cut the skin (about 3-4 vertical, 4-5 horizontal). Flip the skin inside out over a bowl, and small squares of the avocado should fall out. Take a spoon and scrape off the rest. Repeat for the rest of the avocado halves.
  3. Once avocados are in the bowl, stir together and mash up to your liking ( I leave mine a bit chunky.)
  4. Add the avocado to the plastic bag with the other ingredients and add 1 tbsp. of lime and chopped cilantro. Seal bag and mix ingredients together with your hands on the outside of the bag. Add salt and pepper to taste and add additional lime if need.
  5. Let set for 30 minutes in the fridge in the bag for better flavor. Serve and enjoy.
  6. When storing leftovers make sure to place plastic wrap directly on guacamole to prevent browning.
