Guacamole – Fast and Easy

Yum! Guacamole, the fast, healthy, cheap, delicious and versatile hostel food. Guacamole can be eaten with tortillas, bread or crackers. Or spread on any sandwich to add taste-bud bursting flavor. Guacamole does not keep very well so you should eat it right away, which never is a problem.

Guacamole on a Sandwich

Ingredients

3 Avocados
1 small onion, diced
1 clove garlic, diced
2 tablespoons salt
1 Lime for juice (lemon will work as well)
1/4 cup cilantro (optional)
1 chile, diced (optional)
1 small tomato, diced (optional)

Tools

Bowl for mixing
Kitchen Knife

Directions

1) Cut avocado in half length wise and spoon avocado into bowl.
2) Mash avocado and then add diced onions, garlic, and salt.
3) Add optional ingredients: tomoato, chile and cilantro.
4) Add juice from lime. This will help stop the avocado from browning.
5)Mix well and enjoy!

I prefer to use the pebbly skinned Hass avocados. These have a lot more flavor then the large avocados found throughout south america.
