Guacamole

Guacamole

Course Appetizer, Salad
Cuisine Mexican

Ingredients
  

  • 3-4 avocados
  • 1 jalapeno, stemmed and seeded, sliced (just use half if you don't want it too hot)
  • 2 tbsp onion, diced
  • 2 garlic cloves, diced
  • juice of one lemon
  • 1 tomato, diced
  • handful of cilantro, chopped
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Place the jalapeno and garlic in the molcajete if using or in a shallow bowl and add a pinch of salt. Mash the garlic and jalapeno with the salt to make a paste.
  • Add the onion and mash a little but don't completely break up. Add the avocado and combine. Add your lemon juice, stir and check your seasoning. Add salt and pepper as needed.
  • Add your diced tomatoes and chopped cilantro. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. I find that a container that doesn't leave too much room after your guacamole works the best or keeps it from getting brown on top quicker. Enjoy!
