Avocado Gadget

This one gadget that is definitely not needed at all, but it really does work and Miss Picky liked using it!

The Big Kid prefers a knife, even though he's the one that picked up that gadget for me!

Would have worked much better if the avocado wasn't over ripe! But it did work. 

We like our avocado plain, just salt and pepper, a little squeeze of lime, and a sometimes a little sprinkle of cayenne.

but if we're having guacamole then we're adding stuff!

Stuff like white onions, chopped jalapeno, diced tomatoes, freshly squeezed lime juice, salt and pepper. Cilantro is iffy in our house. Not everyone likes it and Miss Picky can taste a quarter of a leaf that accidentally got into hers.

An easy after school snack for the Big Kid when he was in High School.

Guess who had to clean up?

Guacamole

Printable Recipe

1/2 white onion, chopped
2 or 3 chopped serrano chiles (more or less to taste, you can also use jalapeno)
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
salt and pepper, to taste
4 ripe avocados
1 lime, juiced
3 plum tomatoes, seeded, diced and drained

Depending on how chunky you like, use a food processor and pulse to combine onion, chiles, cilantro, salt and pepper, or a molcajete if you have one. Or just a knife!

Coarsely mash the avocados. Fold in reserved onion mixture, then tomato. Serve with tortilla chips.
