holy guacamole!

Over the past several years I've definitely put more of an emphasis on making things from scratch as opposed to buying them pre-made or going out for them at a restaurant. This is probably mostly due to my interest in learning new techniques and skills. In the past month though, I've really ramped up my efforts to make things fresh because that's the best way to ensure that they don't contain gluten. So yeah, extra effort and extra money, but also extra flavor. Win-win-win.


Not shockingly, I read several recipes and then finally made up my own.

Ingredients:
3 ripe avocados
1/2 red onion, diced
1-2 roma tomatoes, cored and diced
1-2 serrano peppers, minced
1-2 limes, juiced
1 clove garlic, minced
fresh salt and pepper, to taste

Juice the limes and set juice aside in a medium-sized bowl. Slice and peel the avocados into 1/2" slices and toss them in the lime juice. Once the avocados are well coated, set them aside and save the remaining lime juice.

With a fork, mash the avocados to desired texture and fold in the onions, tomatoes, peppers, and garlic. Add one or two teaspoons of the remaining lime juice (depending on your taste preferences). Season with salt and pepper.


Serve with UTZ gluten-free corn chips.

You're welcome.
