WHO can turn down guacamole with vegetables or corn tortilla chips? Answer: Almost no one. This dip keeps refrigerated for one day. Some discoloration will occur, but the taste will not be affected. Enjoy!
3 ripe avocados, preferably Hass
3 tablespoons finely chopped red onion
1 large tomato, cut into small dice
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice, or to taste
3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1 small garlic clove, crushed, or ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
Dash of Tabasco sauce, or freshly ground black pepper
Salt
• Cut the avocados in half and remove the pits. Cut the halves into quarters, then peel them and place in a small bowl. Using the back of a fork, mash the avocados to a chunky consistency.
• Add the remaining ingredients and mix until well combined. Season to taste, cover with plastic wrap placed flush against the surface of the guacamole, and refrigerate for a couple of hours before serving.
