Did you know that the Aztecs, who invented guacamole back in the 1500’s, believed the avocado was an aphrodisiac? So, you might want to be careful about how much of this tasty Guacamole you feed that husband or boyfriend of yours! Or not…tee-hee.

Recipe by: Bobbi Jo Lathan
Recipe type: Appetizer
Cuisine: Southern
INGREDIENTS
3 ripe Hass avocados (peeled and deseeded)
¼ cup white onion (finely chopped)
½ fresh small jalapeño pepper (stemmed, seeded and finely chopped)*
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (roughly chopped)
1 clove of fresh garlic (peeled and minced or garlic-pressed)
1 plum tomato (seeded and chopped)
½ fresh lime (juiced)
1/ 4 teaspoon salt and freshly ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon ground cumin (optional)
INSTRUCTIONS
Git out your mixin’ bowl.
Place your avocado pulp into the mixin’ bowl and either mash with a fork or a potato masher. I like mine more chunky, so I don’t mash it as much as I would, a potato.
Once the avocado is roughly mashed, add the lime juice and stir. Lastly, add the rest of the ingredients and gently stir ‘til blended.
Now, taste a big spoonful (which is sooo good that you wonder why you don’t make this stuff all the time) and add more salt or pepper, if needed.
Serve with some crispy tortilla chips, or spread it on top of a corn or flour tortilla and top with an egg-over-easy, for a little huevos rancheros. Dadgum! This stuff is so good that I even eat it on a piece of toast for breakfast. YUM!
NOTE
*Use rubber gloves to chop your jalapeño pepper, ‘cause you sure don’t want that hot pepper on your fingers, which might end up rubbin’ your sweet little eyes!
