Quick and Easy Guacamole

I never really knew that people didn't know how to make guacamole. I grew up eating it my whole life, and just assumed that everyone knew it was easy! So here I am, giving you just a bit of guidance to help & show you that all the extra packets of seasoning are NOT necessary nor do they make your guacamole taste better!

----EASY PEASY GUACAMOLE----

2 ripe avocados

diced tomato

diced onion

chopped cilantro

fresh lime juice

salt to taste

*optional- garlic powder

That's it folks! Cut avocados in half, remove the seed, and using a spoon, scrape the avocado out into a bowl.

 Using either a potato smasher, or just the back of a fork, smash the avocados up to your desired consistency.

Add in as much tomato, onion, and cilantro as you would like. As far as lime juice, I usually go with about half a lime (but it's all about what YOU like ;) ). Mix it all up, sprinkle in some salt, mix some more, and taste. If you feel this is missing a little something, add a sprinkle of garlic powder.

That's it! It really is that easy!

If you're feeling feisty, add some diced jalapeno for some extra zing! YUM!

Enjoy! 

** Helpful tip incase you are new to picking good avocados. If you feel the avocado with your hands, it shouldn't give too easily when you press with your fingers. If it feels too firm, it is probably not ready yet. If it feels too soft, it's not good anymore. Feel a few, and feel for one that is still firm, yet soft. pull off the stem/end and if the flesh inside is still peeking through green, your avocado is perfect!

** If you get an avocado that is still too hard, let it sit out on your counter for a couple of days until the flesh gives a little when you press gently. Then it will be ready for some guacamole action!
