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.
