Really Good Guacamole

Submitted by ProudCarnivore

"The best guacamole recipe I've tried so far. It started out as a recipe I found on the Internet, but added some stuff, took away some stuff, and now it is my very favorite. I made it for a Christmas Eve party this past year, and people were crazy for it."

 

• Ready In: 10mins
• Ingredients: 9
• Yields: 1 1/2 cups
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
• 1⁄2 medium onion, diced
• 1 lime, juice of
• 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
• 1 dash ground black pepper
• 1 small hot pepper, finely chopped, seeds removed
• 3 avocados
• 3 roma tomatoes
• 1⁄2 cup fresh cilantro

directions

1. In a mixing bowl, stir together garlic, onion, lime juice, salt and pepper.
2. Allow to rest for about 10 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, prepare pepper, coarsely dice tomatoes, and peel, pit, and dice avocados.
4. Add all but half the diced avocados to the mixture.
5. Mash the remaining avocados and add to mixture.
6. Chop cilantro and add to bowl.
7. Mix to blend and serve.
8. Note: I find that if you wait to chop the cilantro until you are ready to add it to the recipe, it doesn't get that "soapy" taste to it.
9. Serve with Tortilla chips.
10. I'm saying 4 servings, but I could sit down with a spoon and eat this all by myself.
