Guacamole Fiesta

It’s easy being green...when you have guacamole with your meal! Nothing adds as much flavor to a dish as “the green stuff”, as my cousin Tyler calls it.  For some people, lemon is something to be used lightly, but not me, there can never be enough in guacamole! 
We had beef fajitas for lunch today with guacamole and my uncle Andres’ pico de gallo. Andres is from Mexico so he knows how to make authentic (SPICY) Mexican cuisine, he is a stickler when it comes to pronunciation as well. (Just so you know it’s pronounced gucamol-EH NOT guacamol-EE as I made the mistake of doing.) Below is my recipe for delicious guacamole; with or without chips, you can’t go wrong with this amazing green concoction. Enjoy!

Ingredients:
3 large avocados
1 large lemon (or 2 small lemons)
1 very small roma tomato (or ½ cup of salsa)
2 cloves garlic (sliced thinly or diced)
1 tbs. cilantro
1 tbs. salt
½ tsp. pepper

Directions:
Juice lemons, discard seeds. Dice tomato, slice or dice garlic cloves. Mash 2 avocados to smooth consistency. Combine all ingredients, except 1 avocado.
Chop avocado, gently fold chopped avocado into guacamole. (This helps create more texture) Enjoy with chips, on tacos, burritos or alone with a spoon!
