Ingredients

• 4 small avocados
• 1 lime
• 1 roma tomato
• 1 garlic clove
• 1 jalapeno
• 1/4 red onion
• 1/2 cup cilantro
• salt
• pepper

Recipe

• 1 separate avocados into a medium bowl. mash using fork. add pressed garlic and mix.
• 2 finely mince a handful of cilantro. i've never measured cilantro in my life so i don't know how many tablespoons it is, but maybe close to half a cup. add cilantro and mix.
• 3 add 1/4 cup of finely chopped red onion and mix. the reason your mixing every time is to further mash the avocado and of course to mix the flavors.
• 4 start boiling a small pot of water. split jalapeno into quarters and remove the seeds. finely chop the jalapeno add and mix. slit an x in the bottom of your tomato and dip in boiling water for 30-45 seconds and immediately place under cold running water. remove skin starting at your x.
• 5 slice tomato into 8ths and remove seeds. dice and place into bowl and mix. slice lime in two against the grain and drain using salad fork. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y9vn1dvosjw.
• 6 mix in salt and pepper, cover, and refrigerate for 20-30 minutes. i know some people say to eat guacamole right after prep, but the ingredients need time to marinate. remove and enjoy with tortilla chips.
