Guacamole

I took inspiration from a couple different sources on this one. I'm satisfied with how it came out. I left out the cayenne and jalapeño because I was trying to make it extra mild since the Kidlet has now randomly decided that she doesn't do spicy (after having no problem with spicy for several years before this). Next time I'd put them in though. Especially since the Kidlet didn't like it anyway.

Ingredients

  • 1 avocado, peeled and seeded
  • juice of 1 lime
  • 1/2 tsp. cumin seeds, ground
  • 1/2 tsp. coarse sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp. chili powder (optional)
  • 2 tsp. roasted garlic paste
  • 1 tomato, chopped
  • 1 very small red onion, minced
  • 2 Tbsp. fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 jalapeño, seeded and minced (optional)

Directions

  1. Toss avocado with lime juice. Once avocado has been well-coated, you may drain off and reserve the excess lime juice if you wish. Personally, I didn't bother.
  2. Add cumin, salt, chili powder (if using), and garlic paste and mash avocado.
  3. If you drained off the extra lime juice in the first step, add 1 Tbsp. back into the mixture at this point.
  4. Stir in tomato, onion, cilantro, and jalapeño.
