Simple and Fresh Mexican Guacamole Recipe

Avocados love the Mexican sun! And nowhere is their natural sweetness and wonderful creamy texture displayed better than in guacamole-- one of the more popular easy Mexican food recipes ever created. I'd like to find the person who picked a bunch of avocados, blended them with fresh ingredients, and created this tasty dip called guacamole, and give them a kiss.

Like salsa, your homemade authentic guacamole recipe can have many variations, depending on your tastes. The recipe below is for guacamole the way I like it-- and the way it's traditionally served most places in Mexico-- simple, a bit chunky, and very fresh.

Ingredients:
4 ripe avocados
1 small tomato, peeled
1/4 C. white onion, finely minced chopped
Juice of 1 lime
1/4 C. cilantro, minced
1/2 tsp. Tabasco
Salt, to taste

Instructions: 1. Chop the avocado into small chunks and place in a medium bowl. Toss with the juice of one lime to prevent browning. Guacamole is meant to be a rustic dip with some bits of avocado still remaining. Use a fork to mash the avocados until you get just the right texture. (If they're really ripe, the avocados may not need to be mashed at all-- simply mixing in the remaining ingredients can be enough to get a chunky-creamy texture.)

2. Remove the seeds from the tomato and finely chop. Combine remaining ingredients in the bowl. Add salt to taste. Serve with tacos, quesadillas, or whatever you like! An addictive recipe!

And remember, you don't always need to have a special night set aside to make Mexican food. These easy Mexican food recipes can add spice to your regular cooking every day!
