Appetizer – Guacamole Dip

Ingredients:

3 ripe Avocados (ripe as in really dark in color and slightly soft when squeezed)

1 small onion, finely diced

1 medium tomato, diced

1 lime (juice of )

salt and pepper (to taste )

Tabasco sauce (optional)

Preparation:

Take avocados and cut into and around the circumference of the avocado's pit.

With both hands twist the two halves in opposite directions and pull apart

Remove the pit with a knife or a spoon.

Carve out the flesh of the avocado with a tablespoon.

Place avocados into a medium bowl and mash and stir until moderately creamy. I use a fork or a pastry blender.

Add diced onion and tomatoes to the avocados.

Add salt, pepper, tabasco sauce and lime juice and taste to see if seasoned enough to your liking.

In a separate small bowl put in 2 tablespoons of the dip.

Add 1 tbsp of sour cream and adjust your seasonings again.

Serve chilled with chips or add a little to your taco salad, tacos or fajitas.
