Avocados have become one of my favorite foods. I used to hate them; the texture put me off. But now - oh boy - I could eat a whole plain one and ask for more. I tell myself this is because my adult taste buds want me to eat healthy, but the truth is...they're just tasty. How often do you find a food that's so good for you that tastes so good? The answer is almost never.
And that brings me to guacamole. Beautiful, colorful delicious guacamole. Again with healthy things being delicious. You get me a bowl of guac and a bowl of salsa, and I'm pretty much happy for the rest of the day.
This is why I'm sharing with you my favorite recipe for guacamole. I'm the kind of person that's going to jam as many delicious things into a recipe as I can, so if you're not feeling any of these ingredients, feel free to omit.
What you need:
3 ripe hass avocados
2 roma tomatos, chopped
1/4 cup of red onion
1/4 cup fresh cilantro
1/2-1 jalapeno chile, finely chopped
1 tbsp. lemon juice
1 tbsp. lime juice
Salt and pepper to taste
How to make it:
In a large bowl, mash together the avocados, lemon juice, lime juice, salt and pepper. When mixture is mostly smooth (there will be chunks), add in the remaining ingredients and mix thoroughly. Feel free to add more lemon, lime, salt or pepper to taste. Refrigerate about half an hour before serving.
