Simple & Fresh $4 Guacamole

As a kid I never enjoyed guacamole or avocados for that matter. Luckily, my tastes have expanded and now include avocado in a much larger role than previously. Not only are they filling, they are incredibly nutritious as well. This particular recipe uses Hass avocados, but can be substituted for different varieties if you prefer.

My wife and I have been in search of a great tortilla chip since we moved to California and a brand that we have enjoyed are Home Made chips, they aren't overly greasy or salted like some other brands and really allow the flavor of the guacamole to shine through.

Ingredients

4 ripe Hass avocados
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Dash of cayenne pepper
3 cloves of garlic, crushed
1/4 cup loosely packed cilantro, finely chopped
1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
1 tablespoon lime juice
2 tablespoons Jalapeño, diced
Home Made brand tortilla chips

Steps

Peel & place the ripe avocados in a bowl and mash with a fork. Add the salt, black pepper, dash of cayenne pepper, cilantro and and squeeze the lime juice. Mix till your desired consistency. Serve with corn tortilla chips.

Enjoy!
