4ripe avocadosthey should be soft to the touch, but NOT brown inside...duh
2clovesgarlicpeeled and finely chopped
1/2of a red onionfinely chopped
1/2of a lime
salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Peel and finely chop the garlic
Peel the red onion and chop it very finely (this is a skill that takes practice, so don't beat yourself up if your squares are uneven. Most people are amateur gourmets and won't notice.)
Slice a lime into quarters (you will only need two quarters to equal a half...not everyone went to MIT)
Slice the avocados in half and remove the pit. Remove the skin and roughly chop the avocados.
Add the avocados, garlic, and onions to large bowl. Using a fork, smooth the avocado and mix the ingredients well.
When the guacamole is relatively smooth, squeeze the juice from the lime quarters and mix. Add salt and pepper to taste. Ole!
Notes
If you are not serving the guacamole immediately, cover the bowl tightly with saran wrap, or store the guacamole in a sealed container before refrigerating to keep it from browning!
