¡OLE! Guacamole, The Party Favorite!

GUACAMOLE... 

or guac as I like to call it.  Nature's perfect meal. You can add it to virtually anything you want, salads, Mexican dishes, you name it....Guacamole is certainly a versatile dish, you can do to it as you wish.  The recipe below is a basic authentic, Mexican guacamole recipe.  From there take it to new heights and snazz it up.  Get creative with it.  Add tomatoes, more hot sauce, mango, jalapeños... I will share my secrets in the notes below, if you have created something wonderfully creative please share it back in the comment section.  ¡Buen provecho!





2 ripe avocadoes
1 tablespoon finely chopped onion (I like mine chunkier)
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro(I use more cilantro since I LOVE it!)
1/4 cup lemon or lime juice (just under 1/4 cup) (I prefer lime and I do this to taste and as a preservative to keep the avocadoes from turning brown)
salt
pepper
Cholula™ hot sauce to taste (I add other hot sauces depending on my mood, but Cholula™ is a great start... be daring here)
optional:
Jalapeños (I ALWAYS add these finely chopped...yum)
tomatoes (I always add diced tomatoes to mine)


Directions:
1  Peel avocadoes and mash in bowl.
2  Add remaining ingredients to bowl.
3  Mix well.
4  Refrigerate for at least an hour before eating. (it's hard but it lets the flavors meld together and makes it much yummier)
