Guacamole (my way)







There are a few things that are so quick and easy to make and so rewarding. The hardest part: Find a ripe avocado when you want it. Guacamole goes well with almost anything. Any type of meat, quesadillas, tortilla chips, nachos, tacos or with any other Mexican "garnacha" (Mexican word for fast food. Including: Huaraches, tostadas, tlacoyos, sopes, etc..)

The ingredients are: 1 medium to big avocado, about 1/2 cup of finely chopped white onion. 1/4 cup of finely chopped cilantro (or parsley), 1 tomato, the juice of one lime, about 1 to 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt and pepper to taste.
1. In a deep bowl place the chopped onion and the lime juice. Do this while you chop the tomato and the cilantro to allow the lime acid to "acid cook" the onion.
2. Peel the avocado and cut in chunks and place in the bowl.
3. Add the rest of the ingredients to the bowl. Using a fork, start mixing and mashing the avocado until you get a creamy texture .
4. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.

Note: you can make spicy guacamole by adding a pinch of the chile of your choice. My favorite is habanero...I highly recommend to roast any kind in of chile you use to add a n extra smokey flavour.
