Dangerously addictive.

The recipe that I used is adapted from my friend Inna’s guacamole recipe. Thanks, Inna!

Ingredients:

Makes about 4 servings -

  • 2 avocados
  • 1 lime (I have experimented with using up to 2 limes before and I think the sweet spot is about 1.25 limes, although that’s a rather inconvenient amount)
    • Note: highly recommend using fresh lime instead of lime juice
  • 1 small shallot, minced
  • 1/8 cup cilantro, chopped
  • 1/2 - 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced (adjust based on spice tolerance).
  • sea salt, to taste
  • pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin

Optional:

  • 1 teaspoon “Everything but the Elote” seasoning from Trader Joe’s
  • 2 tablespoons of Pico (you can buy it ready to go at Trader Joe’s or elsewhere, or make it fresh).
    • Alternatively, you can mince a few cherry tomatoes and about 1/8 onion

Instructions:

  • In a small mixing bowl, use a potato masher or a spoon to mash the avocado. Add all of the other ingredients, juice the lime, and mix. Enjoy!
