Holy Guacamole! This was hot hot hot and we loved it! I must admit that I left the seeds in the jalapeno, otherwise it wouldn't have been so hot, but we like the heat so I left it in. I used the juice of one lemon, 1 roma tomato and the full amount of cilantro. I used the food processor to mince the jalapeno and cilantro; although I think by the end the cilantro was overprocessed this way as it was hard to detect the flavor, I'd add it at the end with the tomato and remaining avocado next time. Also, I didn't mash the remaining avocado - I just put the chopped tomato and avocado into the food processor after processing everything else and pulsed 2 times and it was mixed in perfectly. Made for My 3-Chef's 2008 game.
