Avocado Addiction

We had a quiet day around the house yesterday so I decided to make some salsa (recipe to come soon) and guacamole! Both turned out great!

Ingredients

Shopping List:
1/2 small onion, chopped
1 jalapeno, seeded and chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
2 Tbsp. cilantro, chopped
1 Tbsp. lime juice
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. cumin
2 avocados, chopped
1 medium tomato, seeded and diced

Directions:
-In a blender or food processor, pulse the onion, jalapeno, garlic, cilantro, lime, salt, and cumin until well blended (depending on your taste).
-Add the avocados to the onion/pepper mix and blend again until desired consistency is achieved.
-Remove mix from blender/processor into a small bowl. Add in tomato and stir.
-Store in fridge until ready to eat. Makes 1-2 cups.

The finished GUACAMOLE


Don't be afraid of guacamole. I hear so many people ask for it to be removed at restaurants, but I'm sure they've never even tried it. It is so creamy and good for you.

Feel free to change this recipe according to your tastes. We don't really like extremely spicy things so only used 1 jalapeno. You can use 2 or even 3 if you want. This is definitely a recipe to taste as you are making it so it comes out just right.

Also, it may seem a little odd, but did you know that guacamole tastes great on a turkey dog? Seriously... Awesome. Give it a try.

Happy Eating.
