Easy Peasy Guacamole

Ingredients:
4 Avocados
1 Red onion
1 Jalapeno pepper
1 lime (or lemon)
Cilantro
Cloves of garlic (however many you want)
Cumin
Red pepper flakes
Paprika (or cayenne)
Onion powder
Garlic powder
Salt and pepper for taste

Instructions:
SO. let me be honest. Guac is super easy to make and you can add whatever you like and omit what you don't.

1) Make sure your avocados are ripe before doing this otherwise the guac will be chunky and really gross. Cut the avocados and remove the pits.
2) In a medium sized bowl, mash the avocados. I use a fork, but find something that will work for you.
3) Chop up the onion, jalapeno, garlic, and cilantro. I chose to chop these super fine, but if you want it chunkier just make it how you want. Add these to the bowl with avocado.
4) Juice the lime and add that to the guac bowl.
5) add in the cumin, red pepper flakes, paprika (only a small amount), and onion & garlic powder. Add salt and pepper for taste.
6) Mix everything in the bowl. Look. its guac.

More traditional guac is just mashed avocado with sea salt. I prefer to add in the toppings to give it more flavor, especially for parties. I also usually add in a roma/plum tomato or two (but I forgot to grab them at the store). I choose this type of tomato because they are more meaty and won't make the dip super watery.

*Hint: save the pit from one of the avocados and leave this in your container to help keep it fresh.
