Delicious and fresh Guacamole recipe.  Very easy and ALWAYS a hit.  Serve with some chips, or add it to a sandwich for a tasty twist.

Ingredients

  • 4-6 ripe Avocados, diced chunky
  • 1 medium Red Onion, diced small
  • 1-2 medium Tomatoes, de-seeded and diced small
  • 1 Bunch of Fresh Cilantro, Chopped fine
  • 1 head of Roasted Garlic
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • Crushed Red Pepper, optional
  • Salt and Pepper to taste

Assembly

  1. Start by roasting the garlic in the oven.
  2. Dice the Red Onion, Tomatoes and Cilantro and place in the serving bowl.   Add the Lime juice and stir a little. Add crushed red pepper, if you want.
  3. Add the avocados and roasted garlic to the bowl. Mix until you get the consistency you want.  Salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Lime juice is very important because it will stop the avocado from oxidizing and turning brown.  Once made, it'll keep in the fridge for a day or two if you plastic wrap it leaving no air between the wrap and the guacamole.

Directions:

 

Prepare the fruit & vegetables.  Place in a bowl.  Sprinkle the salt, pepper & Mrs. Dash over the mixure.  Pour the lime juice & spash of seasonsed rice vinegar over all.  Mix everything together gently with a soft spatula to avoid bruising the fruit.

This has a lot of flavor but is not picante.  You could spice this up a bit by adding a diced jalapeno or adding a dash or so of hot sauce.
