As Promised....Amazing Guacamole Recipe!

Guacamole Ingredients

Here's the guacamole recipe I promised you!  I kind of feel like a walking advertisement for Cooks Illustrated at this point.... but what can I say, I love them.  And, this is their recipe.

I had actually forgotten about this recipe, until last weekend.  My sister, let's call her Amy, asked me if I knew of a good recipe for guacamole.  My response was, I have the perfect one for you!

Anyway, it made me crave it and thus I had to come up with a reason to make it.  Hence, why I made the Corn and Black Bean Quesadillas with Pepper Jack.  This is as close to heaven in your mouth as you can get.... (you know... if you believe in that sort of thing)

Ingredients:

3 Avocados
1/4 cup fresh Cilantro, minced
2 tbsp Onion, finely chopped
1 small Jalapeno Chile, stemmed, seeded and minced
1 clove Garlic, minced
1/2 tsp ground Cumin (Optional, but I always use it)
Salt
2 tbsp Lime Juice

Directions:

Guacamole: Step 1

1) Halve 1 avocado, remove pit and scoop flesh into medium bowl.  Mash flesh lightly with cilantro, onion, jalapeno, garlic, cumin and 1/4 tsp salt with fork, until just combined.

Guacamole: Steps 2-3

2) Halve, pit and cube remaining 2 avocados.  Add cuves to bowl with mashed avocado mixture.

3) Sprinkle lime juice over avocado cubes and mix lightly with fork until combined but still chunky.  Season with salt to taste and serve (I never have to add extra salt).

Guacamole!

(Guacamole can be covered with plastic wrap pressed directly onto surface and refrigerated for up to 1 day.  Return to room temperature, removing plastic just before serving.)
