Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
Things You'll Need:
- 3-4 ripe avocados
- 1-2 minced garlic cloves
- 1/4 c. lemon juice
- 2 tbsp. minced chives
- 1 small tomato - cubed
- salt to taste
- salsa
- Groceries
- Knife
- Tortilla Chips
-
Step 1
Find the ripest avocados you can - they should be soft when squeezed gently, with dark-green skin. Avoid brown avocados, which are too ripe.
-
Step 2
Cut each avocado in half, working around the large, smooth pit. Separate the avocado halves and remove the pit.
-
Step 3
Scoop the avocado flesh out of the skins.
-
Step 4
Use a fork to mash the avocados until smooth - some chunks are OK. Use a food processor for large amounts of avocado if you like, but avoid overprocessing.
-
Step 5
Add minced fresh garlic, lemon juice, chives and cubed tomato. Add salt and salsa to taste, if desired.
-
Step 6
Serve immediately with tortilla chips.

on 5/22/2008 I made a simple guacamole with a little lemon juice, avocado sour cream, onion powder (my kids pick through the sauce otherwise), pepper, tomato, and garlic. I than spiced it up w ranch doritos or sunchips.

on 5/22/2008 Good recipe. I did add a spoon of sour cream and cut back on the lemon juice. makes a smoother and lighter guacamole. Goes wonderfully with Dorito Ranch chips or sunchips as well.
