GUACAMOLE

PREP TIME: 5 MINUTES
TOTAL TIME: 5 MINUTES
SERVES 6



Ingredients 


3 Haas avocados, halved, seeded and peeled
1 lime, juiced 
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper (more if you like it spicy)
1/4 medium red onion, diced
1 Roma tomato, seeded and diced
1 big handful fresh cilantro leaves, finely chopped
Baked Tortilla Chips, (page 47) for serving, optional

Directions

Halve and pit the avocados, then scoop out the flesh with a spoon into a mixing bowl. Mash the avocados with a fork, leaving them still a bit chunky. Add the remaining ingredients and gently fold everything together.

Lay a piece of plastic wrap right on the surface of the guacamole so it doesn't brown and refrigerate for at least an hour before serving.
