Spicy Zesty Guacamole

Scale

Ingredients

Instructions

Chop the red onion and the jalapeños into small pieces then add them to a bowl. I took the seeds out of one of the Jalapeños to make it a little less spicy. If you like it really spicy, keep all the seeds in.

Cut the avocados and add them to the bowl. An easy way to cut avocados is to cut them while they’re still in the skin.

Add the olive oil, salt, and juice from the lime. Really squeeze the lime for all it’s got – it’s ok if some of the pulp gets in. Mix and smash everything together. I usually smash the avocados with fork but of course you can use whatever works for you.

Voila!

I added tomatoes to this recipe for a friend’s baby shower recently and it was a hit. I was asked for the recipe by several people so I finally wrote one. Enjoy!

Notes

The trick to good guacamole is picking out the perfect avocado. You want the avocado to make a little dent when you squeeze it. You don’t want it to feel real firm, you want it to feel a little soft, but not mushy.
