Homemade Guacamole!

I was feeling a little festive last night and needed to use up the leftover pot roast that I had cooked on Sunday so I decided to make shredded beef tacos and guacamole.  Ole!  Who knew it was so quick and easy to make? 
It turned out pretty good.  Recipe below:

Guacamole

Ingredients:
3 ripe avocados - peeled, pitted, and mashed
1 lime, juiced
1 t. salt
1/2 c. diced onion
3 T. chopped fresh cilantro
2 roma tomatoes, diced
1 t. minced garlic
1 pinch ground cayenne pepper (optional)

Directions:

In medium bowl, mash together the avocados, lime juice, and salt.  Mix in onion, cilantro, tomatoes, and garlic.  Stir in cayenne pepper.  Refrigerate 1 hour for best flavor or serve immediately.

In my test kitchen:

I only bought two avocados...oops.  So I just halved the recipe.  And then I didn't have a lime.  So I had to use the pre-packaged lime juice.  I'm sure a fresh lime would've made it taste even better.  I'm really not a big fan of cilantro but I do think it is a must to include in the recipe. 

~Happy Cooking!
