Amaranta Guacamole

Published by Maureen on 2 July 2008

I love guacamole. It’s one of those foods that if I could grow avocados regularly, I would make guacamole all the time. Here’s one of my favorite recipes, taken from Better Homes and Gardens.

2 ripe avocados
2 tablespoons finely diced white onion
4 tablespoons diced Roma tomatoes
4 tablespoons finely chopped cilantro
2 tablespoons finely chopped jalepeno peppers
juice of 1 lime

Mash avocados, onion and tomatoes together.  Stir in remaining ingredients.  Add salt to taste.
