Easy Great Guacamole

Aren't avocados great?

Here is a simple recipe you can use to make your own. While there are a few pre-made varieties that get the job done, there is nothing quite like being able to whip up your own.

Let's do this thing ...


INGREDIENTS

- Two ripe avocados (ripeness is determined by gently squeezing the fruit -- if they are soft to the touch, they are ready. If you feel you could practically put your thumb through the skin, then they are REALLY ready)
- One clove garlic (more if you love it)
- A few shakes of your favorite hot sauce
- A few freshly-cut lime or lemon wedges
- A dash of kosher salt

First, peel and core the avocado. Using a sharp knife, make a cut lengthwise around the circumference of the fruit. Twist to separate the halves, and stick the knife's blade lengthwise into the pit. Twist to remove. TO DISPOSE OF PIT: use the edge of a bowl, counter, trash can, etc., to separate it from the knife's blade. DO NOT use your hands, as you may well give yourself a fine cut.

Next, peel avocados and place in a medium-sized bowl. Mince garlic and add to bowl. Then, squeeze in the citrus juice, add hot sauce and the salt. Using a fork or spoon, mash ingredients together until proper consistency is achieved. Transfer to a more presentable receptacle if desired, and enjoy with plantain chips, tortilla chips, on a taco, in a burrito, on a sandwich, etc. :)
