Treats: Guacamole

Here's a basic recipe for homemade guacamole.

• 2 ripe avocados (They should be slightly squishy before you cut them.  Here's a YouTube video on how to cut your avocado.)
• 1/2 cup minced red onion (We use red onion because it's a little less sharp than white onion when raw.  If you use white onion, it's all you will taste in your Guac.)
• 1-2 serrano chiles, stems and seeds removed, minced (If you don't want it spicy, eliminate this ingredient)
• 2 tablespoons cilantro leaves, finely chopped 
• 1 tablespoon of fresh lime juice
• 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
• a dash of grated black pepper
• 1/2 ripe tomato, seeds and pulp removed, chopped

Combine ingredients in a bowl and mash to a dip-like consistency; however chunky or paste-like you prefer.  Serve with all-natural tortilla chips (check the ingredients!).

Yum! :)
