The Best Guacamole!

Guacamole is one of my favorite appetizers. It is easy to make, delicious and a great snack or accompaniment to your favorite Mexican dishes.  This recipe is the perfect blend of smooth and creamy and just the right amount of spice. Try with your favorite tortilla chips and an icy margarita:-)

3 Avocados peeled, pitted and mashed

1 lime juiced

1/4 teaspoon cumin

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup chopped green onion

3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

2 Roma Tomatoes diced

1 teaspoon minced garlic

1 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Directions

In a medium bowl, combine the mashed avocados with lime juice and salt. Combine onion, cilantro, tomatoes, garlic and Cayenne pepper.  Refrigerate 1 hour and serve immediately.

Note: This tastes great with a couple of dashes of Tapatio hot sauce mixed in.
