Worlds Best Guacamole Recipe

I love guacamole so much! I love everything about it. A couple years ago while in Puerto Vallarta I learned how to make the best guac ever. The recipe is very simple, so simple that I would often be found making it at my desk at work. I think the trick to great guac is by tweaking your recipe and going more off taste than exact measuring amounts.

You'll need...

1 Avocado
1/4 of an Onion
1 Small Tomato
1 Small Jalapeno
10 stalks of Cilantro
1 Juicy Lime
Garlic Powder
Salt

Start by cutting your avocado in half, the long way. Remove the pit. The best way to do this is by carefully striking the pit with the sharp edge of your knife. Once you do this, put the pit to the side, as you'll be needing it later. A lot of restaurants put all their ingredients in a food processor to speed up the guac making process, but I like mine to be chunky so I recommend cubing it.

Cut into the avocado lengthwise at even intervals. Next, cut into the avocado at a 90 degree angle using even  intervals again to create a crosshatch pattern. Then scoop out the contents into a bowl.

Next chop up your tomato, onion and cilantro and add it to the bowl and stir in. The cut your lime in half and add half the juice to your mixture. Sprinkle the top with salt and garlic powder, to taste and mix. Now, if you like some heat to you guac go ahead and add the jalapeno. Again everything should be to taste. At this point you may need to add more salt, garlic, or lime juice. Keep adding small amounts until you've got it just how you like it!

Now that your guac is ready, have some fun with it. There are so many other variations you can do. Add corn, a little bit of sour cream, or even some cumin. The possibilities are endless!
