How to Prepare Guacamole

GUACAMOLE

6 ripe avocados

1/2 cup chopped tomato

1/4 cup chopped red onion

1 tablespoon chopped cilantro or parsley

1 to 2 teaspoons chopped fresh jalapefio pepper

Juice of one lime

1,5 teaspoons salt

Pinch black pepper

Cut avocados in half, and scoop out pulp with a large spoon. Place avocado flesh in a medium bowl, and mash with a fork until almost smooth. Stir in tomato, red onion, cilantro, and jalapeno pepper. Season with lime juice, salt, and pepper.

Place one of the avocado pits in the Guacamole (to keep it from turning brown), cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Guacamole is best when served the same day (remove avocado pit before serving). Makes about 6 cups.
