Tired of reading an autobiography when all you want to do is eat?
Just recipes...really...
Pro-tip: Use any kind of tomatoes you like, but if you opt for any variety larger than a cherry tomato - make sure you seed them!! Leaving in the seeds, which are suspended in a watery matrix, will result in a super soupy guacamole. Ain't nobody got time for that.
Ingredients3 avocados, halved
1 cup cherry tomatoes, quartered 1/2 medium onion, diced 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced 1 T cilantro, chopped 1 T minced garlic 2 T lime juice 1/2 tsp salt 1/2 tsp cumin 1/2 tsp cayenne |
Directions1. Mix together your avocados and lime juice in a large bowl.
(Pro-tip: Lime juice prevents air from reaching the surface of your avocados, helping to prevent your beautiful green fruit from turning an unappetizing brown color.) 2. Add salt, cumin and cayenne to your mixture. Use a potato masher (or a large fork, let's be real, they do the same thing) and smash to desired consistency. Personally, I prefer a chunkier end-product. 3. Fold in onions, garlic, tomatoes and cilantro. Let your delicious guacamole mingle in the fridge for 1 hour - this helps the flavors blend. 4. Serve cold or at room temperature with your favorite chips. |
Pro-tip: No onions or garlic on hand? No worries!!
Substitute 1/2 tsp onion powder and 1/2 tsp garlic powder for an equally delicious guacamole!
