Favorite Guacamole

Since I don’t think I’ve ever posted a recipe on Instead of the Dishes, it’s so fun to share posts from my foodie blogger friends.  Today, Brittany from Ramblings of a Little Wife is going to let you in on a little secret – her Favorite Guacamole recipe.  I’m going to let you in an ANOTHER secret – Brittany is giving away a Petit Jean Meats ham on her blog  this week! (Go enter, then come back here for the guac.)

Today I am going to share with you my secret guacamole recipe. I love Mexican food, and after watching many Mexican restaurants make it tableside I created my own. I promise if you take this, you will be the hit of the next party!

4 ripe avocados
Juice of one lemon
2 chopped roma tomatoes (I use these in the winter because they taste better, feel free to substitute any kind)
2 cloves of garlic minced
1 tsp. chili powder
1 seeded jalapeno chopped finely (use gloves or you will burn your hands)
¼ yellow onion chopped finely
Salt and Pepper to taste

Remove insides of avocado into a bowl. Discard seeds and peeling. Add the rest of the ingredients, and mix well together with a spoon. No need to chop the avocados as they will eventually blend and remain slightly chunky, which is my favorite. Serve immediately!

Serve with your favorite tortilla chips.

If you aren’t going to serve this within the next hour, the lemon juice will help it not turn that ugly color, however you will need to cover tightly with saran wrap making sure none of the dip is exposed to air. This dip will not keep overnight; so make sure you make it fresh.
