Guacamole and Chips, Simple, Fresh, very Tasty!!

One of my favorite recipes is this very simple and easy crowd pleaser. This recipe will serve 4. Add a couple of beers and your off to a good start.

A good test for an avocados' ripeness is that it should feel like a new tennis ball. Firm with a little give. If it's not quite ripe, put it in a paper bag on your counter top overnight. That will help it ripen faster.

5 Ripe Avocados (seeded, scooped & coated in fresh lime juice then diced small)

1/4 Cup finely diced yellow onion

1/2 Cup finely diced tomato (use outer flesh of tomato only, see pic below)

1 Tbl. washed chopped Cilantro

3 Jalapeno peppers (seeds & white flesh inside contain the heat, you can control the spice by including more or less as you like)

3 fresh limes Squeezed (tip.."rolling" the lime on the counter before you slice it helps soften it making it easier to squeeze)

Kosher Salt to taste.


<---Tomato skins "outer flesh"

This is what your sliced tomato should look like.
