This is my basic, go to, never fail- guacamole recipe. Enjoy with tortilla chips, tacos or fresh cut veggies.

Ingredients

• 5-6 ripe avocados
• 1/2 onion, finely chopped
• 3 garlic cloves, crushed and divided
• 2 tomatoes, diced and divided
• Bunch of cilantro, finely chopped
• Lemon juice and/or some lime juice
• Salt to taste

Directions

• Heat some olive oil in skillet
• Add onion and sauté until mostly done
• Add garlic (careful not to let it brown as it turns bitter) and half of the diced tomatoes and sauté for 30-60 seconds more
• Remove from heat
• Peel/core avocadoes and mash coarsely with a fork
• Add the sautéed onion/garlic/tomato to the avocados along with the rest of the fresh chopped tomatoes, chopped cilantro, lemon juice, salt
• Add some additional fresh crushed garlic if desired, salt and more lemon juice to taste
• Mix to desired consistency, serve fresh or let sit and flavors will meld

Serve with tortilla chips or cut fresh vegetables!

Super mom tip: don’t have time to chop onions and tomatoes and cilantro? Get some Pico de Gallo and save a step or three!
