So on May 5th, my thoughts turn to my two favorite Mexican treats: tequila and guacamole. I could eat avocados every single day. Guacamole is probably my favorite way to prepare avocados, but I will eat them straight out of their skins with some salt and lime juice. Yum-o! And tequila... shots are always good, but a good añejo is a drink worth sipping.
In honor of Cinco de Mayo, I share a basic guacamole recipe. I always add extra garlic and cilantro, because I love it that way, but I realize most people don't. Mix and add to suit your own tastes.
Homemade Guacamole
2 ripe avocados
2 cloves fresh garlic, crushed
1/4 red onion, finely diced
4 Tablespoons finely chopped cilantro
juice of 1/2 lime
1/2 jalapeno, finely diced
coarse salt
pepper
Split avocados, discard the pits, and empty contents into a medium bowl. Add garlic, onion and cilantro. Mash with a fork until smooth but still chunky. Add lime juice, salt and pepper to taste. Serve with chips or use as a topping on grilled chicken or steak.
