Cheater's Guacamole
INGREDIENTS
- Cooking Time: 0
- Servings: 5-7
- Preparation Time: 15
- 6 medium or 4 large avocados
- ¼c chunky salsa (I prefer Pace thick and chunky, but extra points for the Triple Pepper Pace)
- 1T garlic powder
- 1T onion powder
- 1T beau monde
- 3T lemon juice (can be the stuff in the plastic lemon or fresh squeezed)
- dash or two of tabasco (regular is cool, chipotle or habañero is awesome)
DIRECTIONS
- Halve the avocados
- using the part of the knife blade closest to the handle (and being very careful), put the knife into the pit
- twist and remove
- Use a spoon to remove the meat from the skin of the avocado, and scoop out into a big bowl
- Pour lemon juice over avocado to prevent browning
- Go to town on the avocado with a potato masher, but make sure to leave it a bit chunky
- Toss in the salsa, seasonings and tabasco and stir, making sure to not stir so hard as to smooth out the chunks
- Best served at room temperature, but if you must refrigerate, make sure to press down a layer of plastic wrap directly onto the surface.
