Here’s a super easy one for you before the weekend! Great for all those tailgaters and football party goers!

Ingredients:
4 ripe avocados
1 Roma tomato (or 1/2 small tomato)
1 tbsp fresh chopped cilantro or 1 tsp dried cilantro
1 garlic clove pressed
1/2 lime, squeezed (use other half for your drink )
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp chili powder
1/4 tsp cumin
salt and pepper to taste
diced jalapeno or diced green chile if you prefer a spicy guacamole, optional
sour cream or mayonnaise for creamier version, optional (don’t use normally)
tortilla chips (I prefer Tostitos)

Directions:
1. Cut avocados in half and carefully remove pits, saving for later. With a spoon, scoop avocado from the skin and put in a bowl. Using a fork mash avocado to desired consistency (I like to leave it kinda lumpy).
2. Dice tomato and add to bowl. Add cilantro, garlic, and lime juice. Stir the mixture together.
3. If you prefer yours creamier, add enough mayonnaise or sour cream to the bow to make it creamy.
4. Add remaining spices (approximate amounts, taste as you go) including jalapeno or green chile if you want it spicy.
5. To keep from oxidizing (turning brown), add the pits to the dip. It looks bizarre but I promise it works.

Guacamole makes a great dip on its own but is great as a topping on tacos, nachos, or anything else your heart desires!


BTW these pictures are one day old guacamole and it’s not all brown and yucky!
