World Cuisines: Guacamole (Mexico)


We love Mexican food so we want to share how we make guacamole. 
(Also for special request. Here it is! For you Emily:))

Ingredients:
- 2 ripe avocados, pitted and peeled
- juice of 1/2 lemon
- juice of 1/2 lime
- 1 medium tomato, chopped
- 1/2 medium onion, chopped
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
- 1/2 of you favorite hot pepper, minced
- salt and black pepper to taste
- red crushed pepper - sometimes I add it  
to make it more spicy

Preparation:
- Using a tablespoon, take the flesh out of the avocados and put it into a bowl. Mash it with a fork. You can leave some chunks if you want. 
- Add remaining ingredients, stir and eat. :) 

Makes 2-3 servings.


Guacamole is great with tortilla chips. My favorite are Hint of Lime Tostitos. But today I bought a delicious baguette from a French bakery, and I spread some guacamole on it. Yummmmm!
