Guacamole

By robotiger

Perfect guacamole begins with ripe avocados. Avocados should give a little when pressed on the outside to indicate the avocado is ripe. An authentic guacamole recipe would add some chopped tomato and salt and pepper to taste. This is tasty and good for you, but everyone has their own ingredient they love to add to the mix, including salsa, chili peppers, lime, fresh garlic, onions and cilantro

Ingredients

• * 3 Haas avocados, halved, seeded and peeled
• * 1 lime, juiced

• * 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
• * 1/2 teaspoon cayenne
• * 1/2 medium onion, diced
