Guacamole

Look upon its shining brilliance. It is so easy to make, too!


I feel like everyone has a guacamole recipe, and for this reason, this is kind of pointless, but I'm throwing caution to the wind and going for it nonetheless. 

Guacamole (serves 2-3):
1 1/2 avocados (use the rest for other things, or double the batch for company)
2 thin-ish slices red onion, diced fine
6-8 cherry tomatoes, chopped
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 jalapeno pepper, minced
2 cloves garlic, minced or put through garlic press
Juice from 1/2 lemon
1/2-1 tsp. Sriracha
Sea salt
Fresh ground black pepper

Begin by mashing your garlic with a good bit of sea salt until the mixture takes on a creamy coloration and is very well-combined. Add the avocados, and mash a few times. Then add the tomato, red onion, jalapeno and roughly combine. Squeeze in the lemon juice, add the Sriracha and salt and pepper to taste. You will not be disappointed. 

Serve with tortilla chips and the Mexican cerveza of your choice.
