guacamole

if you're going to drink margaritas you have got to have something to go with.   i made some guacamole to complement our beverages.  we had a large crowed so quadrupled the recipe but here's my recipe if you're making for two.

2 ripe avocados {if you're avocados aren't ripe put them in a paper bag overnight}

1 small tomato, diced {1/2 cup}

2 tbls white onion, diced

1 tbl cilantro, chopped

1 tbl lemon juice {squeezed from 1/2 lemon}

1 tsp garlic, minced {1 small garlic clove}

1/2 tsp kosher salt, more to taste

1/4 tsp chili flakes, more if you like spicy

i added a few dashes of this lime chili season my mom brought me back from mexico

in a medium sized bowl, mash avocados.  i like to use a pastry blender.  add tomato, onion, cilantro, lemon juice, garlic and stir together.  stir in salt and chili flakes.  refrigerate for 2 or more hours before serving.  save one avocado pit and place in the guacamole to keep from turning brown.  remove before serving.

I think I could eat guacamole every day. Seriously. Way to make me sooo hungry.

Kevin and I hosted a dinner party last night and made shrimp & fish tacos. I made this guac for one of the toppings - it was a hit! Audrey, one of our friends' 3 year old, was eating it by the handful! :)
