Guacamole

 

According to Wikipedia, “guacamole is an avocado based dip that originated in Mexico”. The avocados were originally mashed using a mortar and pestle. There are many variations of this dish, but I prefer it simple with no additional seasonings.

I personally love avocadoes because they taste good – eat them fresh with milk or drink it in shakes. They are high in fiber and they have more potassium than bananas.

You can have guacamole with chips, burritos, quesadillas and other Mexican dishes.

 

Ingredients:

3 avocados – peeled, pitted, and mashed

1 lime, juiced

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup onion, diced

3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

2 tomatoes, diced

1 teaspoon minced garlic

1 pinch ground cayenne pepper (optional)

 

In a bowl, combine all the ingredients – diced avocados, lime, salt, onions, cilantro tomatoes, garlic and pepper. Mix well.
