Homemade Guacamole!


I dont know if it's because it was St. Patty's day this weekend, but I'm feeling the need to post something green! A couple weeks ago I was on a Mexican food kick and decided to have a full Mexican meal complete with guac, salsa, and enchiladas! I'll post the recipe for those someday soon. For now, here is a super easy recipe for some homemade guacamole that everyone will love. You dont have to worry about it turning brown because it wont be around that long =)

What you'll need:

2 avocados
2 roma tomatoes (or 1 cup diced tomato)
1 onion
2 cloves of garlic
1 jalapeno
1 lime
salt & pepper (i used cayenne pepper)

(to make things easy, Trader Joe's usually sells guacamole kits with all needed ingredients!)

Directions:
Cut avocado to the center, cutting around circumference of fruit to the pit.
Remove pitt and scoop avocado out into a medium sized bowl.
Peel and dice the onion and garlic cloves and fold into avocado.
Combine with diced jalapeno pepper.
Add the juice of 1 lime (juice it good!) and fold into guacamole.
Add salt and pepper to taste

Once you mash the guacamole to a consistency that you like it's ready to scoop!  ¡buen provecho! 

Enjoy!
