Chunky Guacamole

Chunky Guacamole
Post by Brandon

Brief Description:
I'm a late convert to guacamole. When I was a kid, I couldn't even look at it let alone eat it. Now it's a genuine treat and a must have for watching a big game on TV. To make up for lost time, I go big now, with generous chunks of avocado and tomato and plenty of cilantro.


Yields about: 1 3/4 cups or 28 Tbsp
Serving Size: 1 Tbsp

Ingredients:
4 small ripe avocados, mashed into chunks
1 lime, juiced
1/4 yellow onion, diced
1 roma tomato, chopped
1 handful fresh cilantro, minced
1 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp garlic powder
dash of cayenne

Directions:
1. Combine avocado, lime juice, mash leaving small chucks of avocado.
2. Add diced onion, chopped tomato and minced cilantro.
3. Add seasoning, mix thoroughly.
4. Cover with saran wrap, leave in fridge for at least one hour.
5. Stir again before serving; enjoy this dip with some homemade pita chips (see previous post).

  1. I think we'd be pretty close in a guacamole standoff Tish. Our recipes are fairly close. You can't go wrong with a bowl of quacamole and chips!
