Guacamole for Cinco de Mayo


The canceled parade in Puebla will be held at my house!

Actually, we're just having guacamole and beer, but it may as well be a parade.

This recipe will go down in family history because of how easy, good, and often I make it. Today, though, it's totally in honor of Mexico.

You will need:

3 medium avocados
1/2 small white onion
cilantro
1 tsp lime juice
sea salt and pepper

*Mash the avocados in a bowl.
*Chop the white onion and mix it in with the mash.
*Add 1 tsp lime juice and ground salt to taste.
*Add pepper (optional).
*Mix a small handful of chopped cilantro into the mush.

Eat on anything (triscuits, tortilla chips, goldfish crackers, or my personal favorite, matzo)

*Note that avocados are full of good fats. They contain high fiber and no cholesterol (my mother was under the mistaken impression that avocados were extremely high in cholesterol, and so she'd been avoiding them for years~such a shame)
