Viva Mexico - Guacamole!

I found this recipe at this website but have made a few modifications.

Firstly, I prefer fresh to canned whenever possible. It just tastes better. Plus, I decided on lime instead of lemon.  I prefer the taste. Finally, I add more cilantro to mine.

Ingredients

4 avocados
2 minced garlic cloves
1/2 medium tomato, chopped fine

1/2 sweet bell pepper, any colour, chopped fine
1 green onion, white and green parts, chopped fine
5 sprigs finely chopped cilantro, or to taste
1 freshly squeezed lime
1 tablespoon fresh Jalapeno pepper, chopped fine
Salt and pepper, to taste


Cut the avacados in half, remove the pits, and spoon out the soft flesh.  


Chop up the cilantro, jalapeno, green onion, garlic, and tomato.


Add to the bowl with the avacado. Add your salt and pepper.


Squeeze in the lime!


Mash everything together with a fork and give it a good stir with a spoon

  

Refrigerate your guacamole for at least an hour so that the flavours combine.   It goes well with chips or on a burrito or just alone if that's how you dig your guac.

Improve!
