• 2 tablespoons pre-prepared salsa

Instructions

 

• Prepare a large mixing bowl.
• Slice the avocados in half, remove the pit and with the knife, slice thin straight line slices into the
• meat of the avocado, careful not to cut all the way through, then cut lines across so you have little cubes cut into the skin of the avocado.
• Squeeze the avocado from the middle, skin side, into the bowl.
• You now have little chunks of avocado in your mixing bowl!
• Repeat this for all halves of the avocado, discard the skin.
• Add the diced tomatoes, diced onion, garlic, cilantro*,jalapeño*, salsa, gops and lime juice.
• Mash the avocado and everything else with a fork and make smooth or keep it chunky, that is personal preference. I like it chunky.
• Taste after you mash and mix to see if you need more seasonings or not.

Notes:

• *Cilantro note: I like to add a handful of fresh chopped cilantro, but I know that some people do not like the taste of a lot of cilantro.
• *jalapeño note: If you do not have access to fresh peppers, you can use the kind in the jar.

So this is my guacamole. I am not sure how authentic it is, being I am not Mexican and I only know American-ized versions of this stuff. But, here you have it.

I have a story about guacamole. My friend Sydney is originally from California and her step mother is Mexican.

Sydney would come over my house and she would make guacamole. Someone having a bad day, call Sydney, we will eat chips, salsa and guacamole and drink Victoria beer.

Sydney became so famous with this guacamole, that we started calling it squacamole. Because one night, we may have had a little too many beers at the Mexican restaurant and someone called her Squidney. And how all good nicknames get formed, this quickly became her nickname and therefor the guacamole was called squacamole.

We were always Guinness girls through and through!
This was after we both had gone through some very troubling times, she now lives in Texas and I am here in Italy, but we are both living our best lives. We also keep in touch, but not everyday. I am a firm believer that if you have a real friend, you do not need to talk to them every day. You can pick up the phone when you need them and pick right back up where you left off. We made a mountain of memories in the short time that we became friends, but some people are just meant to be in your life!
