Prep Time: 10 min Cooking Time: 10 min Servings: approx. 6
Ingredients:
3 Avocados
1 ½ Cup Tomato, seeded
1/2 Red Onion, chopped
½ Cup (1/3 bunch) of Cilantro
2 Serrano or Jalapeno Peppers, finely chopped
2 Garlic Cloves, pressed or minced
3 Tbsp freshly squeezed Lime Juice
½ tsp Kosher Salt, or to taste
¼ tsp Ground Black Pepper, or to taste
Optional:
1/2 tsp Ground Cumin
Directions:
Cut Avocados in half, remove the seeds and scrape them out into a flat bottomed bowl (a flat bottom will make it easier to mash). Smash with a potato masher or a fork (leave some chunks; don’t puree it).
Chop Red Onions and add it to the bowl
Remove seeds from Jalapeños (or Serranos for spicier Guacamole). Chop Jalapeños finely.
Cut the Tomatoes in half parallel with the top and remove seeds (either by scraping them out with a small spoon or by squeezing them out). Dice your Tomatoes. Add chopped Tomatoes to your bowl. I often just leave the seeds in (that's ok too).
Press Garlic (or mince) then finely chop your Cilantro and add it to the bowl.
Add 1/2 tsp dry Cumin powder, 1/4 tsp freshly Ground Black Pepper, 1/2 tsp Kosher Salt (regular salt is ok too) and 3 Tbsp of freshly squeezed Lime Juice.
Mix all of the contents in the bowl & taste to see if you want to add any more of the ingredients listed above.
AND...if you're really feeling fancy, serve the Guacamole in the Avocado shells. Hopefully you didn't have to fish them out of the garbage can. I'm not admitting to anything!
