Classic Guacamole

April 29, 2013

Growing up in Texas I have had my share of Mexican food, and well Tex-Mex, of course.

I mean if you are gunna live in Texas you kinda have to like love Mexican food. 

Well that and barbecue.

Mexican/Tex-Mex and Barbecue, the official foods of Texas.

Because of my love obsession with Mexican food and because Cinco de Mayo is this Sunday, I thought having a second annual Mexican food themed week was in order! All this week I will be sharing some classic Mexican recipes that would be perfect for any Cinco de Mayo celebration, large or small.

First up, guacamole.

I love me some guacamole!
I could eat it as a meal all on its own, but I also love eating it as an appetizer with chips or using it as a condiment to top my tacos, burgers and burritos.

I like my guac chunky, full of onions and tomatoes. I actually shared this recipe some time ago, as part of another recipe, but thought it deserved pictures and a post all on its own. So here it is!

What is your favorite way to enjoy Guacamole?

One Year Ago: Slow-Cooker Posole

Four Years Ago: Oatmeal Cookie Pancakes

Prep Time: 15 minutes Makes approximately 1 ½ – 2 cups

2 large ripe avocados

2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and diced
1/3 cup diced onion
1 Roma tomato, diced
½ teaspoon salt
1/2 tablespoon water
½ tablespoon lime juice
½ teaspoon hot sauce

Cut the avocados in half. Twist the halves in opposite directions and pull apart. Remove the pits and then scoop out the avocado flesh into a medium bowl. Mash the avocado with a large fork. Stir in the remaining ingredients. If not using immediately, cover with plastic wrap pressing the plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the guacamole and refrigerate.
