Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Cut the avocados in half. Remove the pit. Scoop out the avocado flesh from the peel with a spoon, and put into a mixing bowl. Using a fork, roughly mash the avocado. 
  2. Add salt, pepper and lime juice, chopped onion, tomato, cilantro, garlic and jalapeno or serrano chilies.
  3. Combine and ideally, serve immediately with tortilla chips. If you are making this ahead of time place plastic wrap on the surface of the guacamole to cover it and prevent air from reaching it. This will prevent the guacamole from turning brown. Refrigerate until ready to serve  Enjoy!
