Guacamole

I like to use guacamole for more than just a dip, its great as a topping for nearly anything grilled and makes for a healthy alternative to mayonnaise on sandwiches.

3 avocados

1/2 red onion

1 roma tomato

1 jalapeno    

2 cloves garlic

1/2 cup cilantro

1 lime (zest and juice)

1 tbsp sour cream

1 tbsp kosher salt

1 tsp cumin

1 tsp coriander

1 tsp paprika

Begin by cutting onion and tomato into small dice, mince jalapeno and garlic, zest the lime and chop cilantro. Place all in one bowl. Cut the avocados around the center lengthwise, twist to open, remove pit and scoop out flesh with a spoon into a separate bowl. Add salt, cumin, coriander, paprika, sour cream, and lime juice. Mash the avocados with the spices. Once thoroughly mashed and mixed add the remaining ingredients and mix together. To help prevent oxidization (browning) when storing cover with a paper towel soaked in lime juice.
