Guacamole

Holy guacamole!  This is the best recipe ever!  Before this recipe, I didn’t even like guacamole.  We make ours in a molcajete, which is a traditional Mexican mortar and pestle made from volcanic rock.  However, you can certainly make it using a regular bowl.

Makes 4 Servings
Recipe adapted from Rachael Ray

Ingredients: 

• 2 ripe Hass avacados
• Juice of 1/2 lemon
• 1 clove of garlic, minced
• 1 jalepeño, seeded and finely chopped
• 1 small tomato, seeded and chopped
• 1/2 small yellow onion, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt

Method:

1. Cut the avocados in half around the pit and separate the halves.
2. Pop out the put and scoop the flesh of the avocado into a bowl (or molcajete)
3. Squeeze the lemon juice over the avocados.
4. Add the garlic, jalepeño, tomato, and salt to the bowl.
5. Mash and mix the ingredients using a fork.
6. Serve with tortilla chips.
