Guacamole Recipe Ingredients:
3 AVOCADO (ripe, pitted and skinned and diced)
1-2 Tbsp LIME JUICE (or sub lemon juice)
cup ONION (chopped)
2 ROMA TOMATO (chopped)
1 clove GARLIC (minced)
1-2 Tbsp CILANTRO (chopped)
tsp CUMIN (optional)
dash of CAYENNE or HOT SAUCE as desired
tsp SALT ...adjust to taste

Guacamole Recipe Directions:

Choose ripe avocados!--an avocado is ripe if it's soft (not too soft and not too firm--right in the middle) ...a ripe avocado will give slightly when pressed. If it feels hard like a rock, then it's not ripe...if it feels mushy, then it's overripe. If the skin feels papery and dry (crackly)--then it's too old. It's not rocket science--just go through the avocados at the market and pick whichever one Goldilocks would pick.

Run a knife around the center of the avocado and pull it apart to reveal the pit. Remove the pit, cut the halves into quarters and peel away the skin. Dice the avocado and place in a bowl.
Quickly add the lime or lemon juice and toss well, coating the avocado--this will add a great flavor and more importantly keep the avocado from browning!

Add salt. If desired, add a little cumin, cayenne pepper, hot sauce for bite--but this is optional.

Mix the ingredients well and, with a fork, smash up the avocado--but not too much--the ideal guacamole is lumpy, not smooth.

Add chopped roma tomatoes, onion, cilantro, and garlic. Use fresh ingredients! --the key to a delicious guacamole is fresh ingredients.

Toss everything together and then cover and place the guacamole in the refrigerator until needed.
