Now, I do not for a second think I make the best Guacamole, I had to look up how to spell it correctly so that pretty much takes me out of the running, but I do make a yummy and easy guacamole. This is usually just a treat for me because John won't even consider tasting it, Owen has tasted but declined eating it and Ian just likes to dip carrots in and lick off some guacamole. However, ignoring their reviews, it is darn good.
Anyway, here's the recipe:
Guacamole
2 ripe avocados
squeeze of lemon juice from 1/2 a lemon
2 tbsp of your favorite salsa
a good handful of fresh cilantro roughly chopped up
a pinch or 2 of salt (to your taste)
some fresh ground pepper
a dash of cumin
a dash of chilli powder
** I actually have measuring spoons that are "a smidge, a dash and a pinch ", when 1/4 teaspoon is too much these are the amounts I'm referrring too. Truthfully I don't usually measure but I did in this instance to be able to provide a recipe.
You can use a fork and mash it all together which is what I do when making it just for myself, but if you're making a bigger batch feel free to use a food processor.
To keep in refirgerator, make sure you place the avocado seed on top of the guacamole just pushed down a bit and cover with plastic wrap. I learned this trick from my husband's co-worker who's husband is from Mexico and is an expert on such things as guacamole.
You can eat it up with some tortilla chips or I like to spread it on a fresh tortilla, slice some tomatoes and cheese or if you have it, chicken breast and have a yummy lunch.
Nice recipe, Jenn! :-) My mom used to eat avocado with just lime juice and a splash of soy sauce. I like to use key limes in my guacamole, too, instead of yellow lemon.
