In honor of Cinco de Mayo, I thought I'd give you a fabulous recipe for fresh guacamole. We stole it from a restaurant in our area where you can order "table side" guac. They bring an empty bowl and all the ingredients. They make the guac as you watch...so, umm, it's not hard to re-create this dish at home. Here it is:
Two ripe avocados (ripe=soft, not firm)
1 small red onion
1 Roma tomato
minced garlic
garlic powder
cumin
fresh cilantro
salt
1 lime
optional: 1 jalapeno, seeds removed, (keep the seeds if you want it HOT)
Scoop out the avocado flesh and place it in a medium bowl. Add as much red onion as you think you might like (remember, a lot goes a long way!). Dice the entire tomato and add to the bowl. (If you're doing the jalapeno, dice it and add it here.) Add minced garlic, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and chopped cilantro to taste. Drizzle with juice squeezed from half a lime. Mix thoroughly. Enjoy!
Certainly, you can eat it right away but letting the guac sit in the fridge for 30 minutes makes it even better.
