Guacamole

When I have tacos I want to have a nice dollop of cooling guacamole to balance out the heat of my tacos!  I normally make guacamole for 1, it only takes a few minutes to whip it up and I find that it is easy to use in 1 or 2 sittings without browning.  If you are cooking for more than 1 or 2 people it is extremely easy to increase this recipe as you need. Warning: I love garlic, if you aren't as big of a fan, you may want to use half as much garlic to start and add it to suit your needs.

Guacamole: Serves 1-2
1 Haas Avocado (3-4oz)
2 Cloves Garlic - Minced
1TB Salsa
Pinch of Salt
1tsp Lime Juice

This is one of my simplest recipes that is extremely tasty and healthy. First you need to free the avocado flesh. To do this slice around the avocado in the long direction, you want your knife to go all the way to the pit in the center. Once you have sliced it grab both sides of the avocado and twist, it should easily pull apart. To remove the pit gently push your knife into the seed and then twist, it should easily remove from the flesh. Lastly take a spoon and insert it between the skin and flesh and scoop it out. Dice up the avocado and toss in a bowl, add all other ingredients and smash with a fork.

Tip: If you are making this for a party when you are done making it put the pits back into the mix and tightly cover. This will help it stop from browning. Also, if you are a Cilantro lover feel free to add some fresh cilantro to the batch. It is not an ingredient you will ever see me use as I am one of those people who thinks it tastes like straight dish soap!
