Prep Time 15 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 hass avocados
  • 1 small bushel of chopped cilantro
  • 1/2 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 1 pinch of pepper
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 1 fresh squeezed lime
  • 1 garlic clove, finely chopped
  • 1/2 medium diced tomato (optional)
  • 1 jalapeno, finely chopped (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Pit and dice your 3 hass avocados and put them in a bowl. You have to remember to specifically use hass avocados, because there are a couple of different avocado types out there
  • The hass avocados have a dark green to black outer layer and will turn squishy when ripened. If you use another type of avocado, you might end up with a different tasting recipe
  • Mix it with the rest of the ingredients except the jalapeno and mash to your taste. For the jalapenos you want to make sure you add your finely chopped pieces a little bit at a time to get a taste of how spicy you want your guacamole to be
  • If you aren’t too spice tolerant and you dump in all your jalapeno at once you might end up over spicing it
  • Some people like their guacamole more velvety and well blended while others prefer a more chunky guacamole. Lots of people like to put it in a blender and make it extra creamy. It's all about what works best for you!
