Avocado Bliss

I LOVE Avocados and cannot get enough of them. They are great on sandwiches and burgers and I love them on grilled shrimp tacos! With Cinco de Mayo being tomorrow I felt like I should make some yummy Guacamole while it was my day off. Tomorrow I would most likely be too tired to make it.

Anyways I used to go to this Mexican restaurant that would make the Guacamole for you right at the table!

What you need:

2 Hass Avocados (Ripe of course)
1 Red Onion (About 2 TBSP of minced red onion)
1 Plum Tomato (Not too soft)
1 Small clove of garlic
Small lime ( I only used half of it)
Sea salt or Kosher salt if you have it. Otherwise regular salt is fine.
Cayenne pepper
Cumin
Fresh Cilantro









Cut your tomato, red onion, avocado in tiny little cubes. I call this micro dicing lol. Throw it all into a bowl.


Then roll your lime on a counter before cutting it to get it easy to squeeze. I used half of a small lime


Then I cut some fresh cilantro and threw it into the mix. I am aware that Cilantro is a Love or Hate thing. You either love Cilantro or you can NOT stand it. I LOVE IT. The more the merrier lol
Then I mixed everything together and seasoned it with sea salt and a small pinch of Cayenne Pepper for heat and Cumin for smokiness. It really works well with the lime. But if you don't have Cumin or dislike the taste, Paprika is a great option!


Mix it all up and adjust to taste and pair it with your favorite chips! I had it with Multigrain chips because they are bit better for me! Yummy!
If Only you could see how green it really was though. The lighting was terrible! But it was delicious!!
