Guacamole is easy to make from scratch, but not as intuitive as it sounds. Jaci and I get fresh avocados from our veg box, and we had to learn how to make Guac without the instant guac mix pack at Giant! This recipe should give you good guacamole in no time.

Recipe Summary

Difficulty: Easy
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 10 Minutes
Servings: Enough for Tacos, Nachos, etc.

Ingredients:

• 2 Avocados
• 1 Tbsp Lemon Juice
• ½ clove garlic, crushed
• ½ tomato, finely chopped
• ¼ cup finely chopped onion
• ¼ tsp ground cumin
• 2 drops hot pepper sauce

Directions:
Use a paring knife to split avocados in half, lengthwise through the top and bottom. Using a spoon, pull out the pit, and separate the flesh from the skin, making sure to get all of it out into a bowl.

Use a fork to mash the avocado into a paste-like mixture, add the lemon, garlic, cumin, and hot pepper sauce, and continue to mix well. Finally add the tomatoes and the onion, and fold together.

Serve immediately with Tacos, Nachos, or any other Mexican dish!
