Tangy Guacamole

Chef DNA1611's Note:

A refreshing lemon/limey guacamole recipe that is neither too spicy nor too tangy. Great for someone who cannot handle too much spice or heat. The lemon/lime mixture will keep the avocado from browning and give it a refreshing tart/tangy taste. This is a slight variation from a recipe a Texan friend shared with me. Great with tortilla chips. Enjoy!

This was quite tasty. I too used 2 avocados but I did use almost a whole seeded jalapeno...wasn't very hot. I served it with Easy Beef Green Chili Burros#410928, Sorta-Spanish Rice#219944 and M-M-M- Good Mexican Rice#318960. Thank you. Made for SPRING PAC 2010.

I reduced the recipe to two avocados and used half of a seeded jalapeno. I found the recipe pleasant~ not too tart, not too hot, and easily spreadable to serve on flat tostados. Served with Spanish Beef Rice. Thank you for sharing the recipe! Made for Spring 2010~Pick A Chef.
