Our Favorite Guacamole

We came across this recipe many years ago and it is our favorite guacamole! We rarely order guacamole from restaurants because it is often disappointing compared to this (plus it is so overpriced most of the time).

Ingredients:

• 4 ripe (soft but not mushy to the touch) avocados
• 1/4 sweet yellow onion, diced (you can use red instead if desired)
• 3 cherry tomatoes, diced
• 1 small handful of chopped cilantro
• 1 clove of garlic, minced
• 1 jalapeno, diced finely (if you want it spicy)
• Sea salt to taste
• 1-2 limes juiced to taste 

Directions:

1. Slice the avocados lengthwise around the seed. Gently hit blade of knife on the half of the avocado with the seed and twist – seed should come out easily. Dice into segments in a crosshatch pattern and then remove with a spoon. 
2. Mix the remaining ingredients together without smashing the avocado too much. Make sure to add the lime, it adds great the flavor and also keeps it from going brown.
3. Serve with fresh tortilla chips or as a topping for any of your favorite Mexican dishes.
