Guacamole


Ingredients
5 Haas avocados, halved, seeded and peeled
Juice from 2 lemons
1 teaspoon kosher salt

Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Several dashes of hot sauce (Tabasco or Texas Pete)
Approx. 1/2 medium red onion, finely chopped
Tomatoes, chopped (remove seeds if using larger tomatoes, doesn’t matter if they’re the small grape tomoatoes)
Note: I chop enough tomatoes/onions to equal half the amount of avocados because sometimes I make a smaller or larger batch

Based on guests and their known likes/dislikes, Add:
1 large jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
3 tablespoons chopped cilantro

Directions
In a large bowl place the scooped avocado pulp and lemon juice, mash together. Add, tomatoes, onions, salt, pepper, hot sauce + jalapeno and/or cilantro if you like. Best if served at room temperature but refrigerate if making in advance and take out about an hour before serving.
