Tim Buckley's Guacamole

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Total time: 15 minutes

Ingredients: 

2 Avocados

1 Lime, Juiced

½ Onion, Chopped

½ Cup Fresh Cilantro, Chopped

Add Salt to Taste

Add Cayenne Pepper to Taste

Instructions: 

Cut the avocados down the center, remove the pit. Scoop out the avocado into a mixing bowl.

Finely chop ½ an onion. Empty into the mixing bowl.

Finely chop your cilantro. Empty into the mixing bowl.

Add the juice of one fresh lime to the mixing bowl.

Using a spatula, stir the avocado, onion, and cilantro together. You’ll mash the avocado along the way. Less stirring will yield a chunkier guacamole, while more stirring will give you a smoother consistency.

Add some salt to your taste.

Add some cayenne pepper to your taste. A little of this goes a long way, so add bit by bit until it’s to your desired spiciness.

Empty your guacamole into a serving bowl.

Sprinkle a touch of cayenne pepper on top for color.

Dig in and enjoy!
