The Amazing Guacamole

Do yourself a favour, and this SuperBowl, make yourself a quick and easy Guacamole.
This is another of my home-made recipes I think you'll enjoy. This dish needs to eb prepared fresh. Guacamole turns brown if left out too long.

You'll Need:
2 Medium sized ripe** Avacados (Haas)
1 Medium onion (diced)
1 Small - Medium tomatoes diced (or 6 cherry tomato diced)
2 teaspoon of freshly ground cumin seed
1 table spoon of fresh squeezed lime juice
1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder (can be substituted for 1/2 clove of crushed garlic)
1 teaspoon of coarse salt
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
Fresh Jalapenos or crushed chilies to taste
--Bonus-- finely diced crispy bacon pieces (optional)


Halve the Avocados, and cut into 1" chunks. Place the avocado into a mixing bowl. Add the spices and salt to the avocado, and blend. Don't over-blend. You want to leave the mixture chunky. Add the diced onions, diced tomato, jalapeno, chilies,and lime juice and blend once again (If you're adding bacon, now is the time to do it).

Move the mixture to a serving bowl, and serve with multigrain tortilla chips.

Avocados should be bought ripe the day you make the mixture. A ripe avocado should have a black rind, and should be firm, yet give when squeezed in your palm. Avocados that are overripe, will share the same colour as a ripe avocado, but will give more easily when squeezed. If you plan to buy your avocados in advance, buy unripened avocados. Unripened avocados have a greener/lighter flesh, and don't yield when squeezed. Avocados ripen very fast, so be sure to buy them only when you plan to use them.
