I first made guacamole only a year or two ago, but we are now hooked! It only takes 10 minutes so it is fast and easy enough for any day of the week. This is a recipe I made up... really chunky and flavorful (almost salsa-ish), which is just the way we like it. It's great with chips of course, but it's also good on top of chicken. Enjoy!
Chunky Guacamole
Makes at least 2 cups
2 medium avocados, or 1 extra-large Florida avocado (that's what I had today)
1 tomato, diced and patted dry with a paper towel (or seeded before cutting)
1/4 c. red onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 jalapeno, finely chopped, optional (I usually add this but didn't have one today and it was still great.)
2-3 T lemon or lime juice (bottled works just fine for this)
Salt and pepper to taste (1/2-1 t. each)
Cut avocados in half around the pit, and remove pit. Cut the avocado in its peel by carefully running your knife across each half vertically and horizontally so the avocado is diced into ~1/2 in. pieces (this is so much easier than cutting it on a cutting board!). Use a spoon to get the avocado pieces in a bowl. Add all other ingredients and stir well; don't mash unless that's the way you like it. Taste and season more if desired. Serve immediately.
I like my guacamole chunky too, but never thought to put it on chicken -going to try it!
