Guacamole Recipe

Guacamole is very yummy and good with just about anything. It’s easy to make and can be as spicy as you are willing to eat. Remember to use gloves for your hands to protect from the Jalapeno burn or cover your hands with oil like a lotion before handling the jalapenos to keep your hands from absorbing the chili oils. They will of course be slippery so be careful when handling a knife.

Ingredients

4+ Ripe Avocados

¼ cup to ½ cup Sweet Yellow Onion, grated

1-2 Garlic Clove Minced

1-2 Jalapenos Minced with vein & seeds removed

¼ cup to ½ cup Cilantro Minced

½ to 1 tsp Chili Powder

Salt to taste

Pepper to taste

½ Lime

Directions

Guacamole should be made to taste. It’s always best to start with small amounts of chilis then taste as you go just so that it’s not too powerful for you. No two chili’s are the same even from the same plant so be careful for your heat. Cut avocados and remove the seeds. Spoon avocado into a bowl and mash with a fork or bean masher. Add the remaining ingredients to taste. Lime is used to keep the Guacamole from browning so use in moderation. If you don’t have lime on hand you can use lemon or even vinegar to slow down the browning process. I always cover with plastic wrap leaving no air between the Guacamole and wrap to further slow down the browning. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes so the flavors can mingle. Stir and serve.
