Easy Guacamole

Fresh, homemade guacamole is an easy way to please your family and friends. This recipe always disappears quickly! The key is finding the perfect avocados. Buy them when you are ready to use them. They should be somewhat firm, but give to gentle pressure.

INGREDIENTS
3 Ripe Avocados

2 Tbsp Lime Juice

2 Tbsp Fresh Cilantro, chopped

1 Can Diced Tomatoes w/ Green Chiles (used Rotel)

1 Small Onion (or ½ of a large onion), chopped

1 tsp garlic powder

Salt and Pepper to taste

DIRECTIONS
*Prepare the avocados by cutting them in half, setting the pits aside and scooping out the inside into a medium sized bowl. Mash the avocado with a fork until smooth (leave slightly chunky if desired).
*Add the lime juice and mix thoroughly. The lime juice helps to keep the avocado from turning brown.
*Stir in the remaining ingredients.
*Serve immediately. The avocado pits can be placed in the guacamole to help keep it green, but don’t eat them.
