Guacamole

From avocado ...... to cutting board ...... to chip bowl

 

 

 

 

 

 TOOLS

  • Food processor

INGREDIENTS

  • 4-5 avocados, peeled and cut into chunks
  • 2 tomatoes, diced
  • 1 jalapeno, roughly chopped
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 3 TB fresh chopped cilantro, or to taste (*Some like less)
  • 1 Clove garlic, minced
  • 1/2 Tsp cayenne pepper (*May omit if you don't like it too hot)

 DIRECTIONS

  1. Toss the avocados, jalapeno, garlic, lime juice and cayenne pepper into food processor and pulse until combined. 
  2. Add the cilantro and pulse to combine. You want it a bit lump and not very smooth in texture.
  3. Pour into serving bowl and fold in tomatoes.

** STORAGE TIP: Guacamole will turn brown over time but citrus will preserve its color and freshness. Sprinkle some lime or lemon juice on top before refrigerating. It generally only lasts 1 day in fridge.
