Guacamole

Hello addiction! 
This is BY FAR, the best Guacamole you will have on this side of the border! 
SO DELISH! 
It's worth the minimal work. Better than ANY store bought guac you can find. And there are some great ones out there. But this.... This is something special! 
Fresh, Spicy, Tart, Salty. YUMMY! 
Buy Organic Ingredients when possible. It's worth your health! No more excuses. And here it is!



Ingredients:
  •  3 small ripe avocados diced 
  •   juice of 1.5 limes
  •  1 cup of cherry tomatoes diced in half and squeezed of excess liquid 
  •   ¼ cup red onion diced 
  •   handful of cilantro diced 
  •   pink Himalayan salt to taste
  •   Garlic Salt to taste
  •   Pepper to taste 
  •   1 garlic clove minced 
  •   1 jalapeño or serrano pepper diced with seeds removed 




I like to use my food processor and chop the tomatoes, jalapeño, cilantro, garlic and red onion. Be careful not to OVER chop it. You're not looking for mush. Keep it chunky. Once diced and mixed, add the avocado to food processor or add avocado and chopped ingredients from food processor into a bowl and mash with a fork, adding lime juice, salt and pepper to taste. 



THE BEST GUAC EVER!
AM I RIGHT?
