SoCal Easy Guacamole

When visiting Jill in Los Angeles for the Fourth of July weekend, I made this easy guacamole with fresh California avocados, of course.

I used two knives and criss-crossed the avocados to keep the dip chunky with the right amount of smooth.

Here she is ready to dig in!



Here is the recipe:

3 avocados, halved, seeded and peeled
1 lime, juiced
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
1/2 medium onion, diced
1/2 jalapeño pepper, seeded and minced
2 Roma tomatoes, seeded and diced
1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
1 clove garlic, minced

In a large bowl, place the scooped avocado pulp and lime juice, toss to coat. 
Drain, and reserve the lime juice after all of the avocados have been coated.

Using a potato masher (Jill didn't have so I used two knives and crosscut the avocados in the bowl), add the salt, cumin and cayenne and mash.  Then, fold in the onions, jalapeño, tomatoes, cilantro and garlic.  Add 1 tablespoon of the reserved lime juice.  

Serve with your favorite tortilla chips.
