~Cilantro Guacamole

Ingredients

5 avocados, ( they usually come in a bag of 5) , seeded and peeled

2 small tomatoes with seeds scooped out ( optional) finely chopped*

1 red pepper , finely diced

2 or 3 small jalapenos , seeded and finely chopped

6 tbsp(90mL) lime juice

4 cloves garlic, minced

3 tbsp(45mL) fresh cilantro, finely chopped

1 tsp(5mL) whole cumin ground in spice grinder

1/4 – 1/2 tsp(1-2 mL) salt to taste

Preparation

Cut avacados in half and take out seed. Scoop out the inside , into a large bowl. Mash with a potato masher. I like mine chunky so I usually leave a few chunks in it . Mix in the rest of the ingredients. Place in bowl , cover , and refrigerate.

*I usually omit the tomatoes because of allergies, but if you use it make sure to get all the seeds out they will make it watery.
