Guacamole of the Gods

This is the guacamole recipe I've made since I was a little kid, and it still blows my mind. Some of the proportions can vary based on your own personal preferences (for example, I'm a garlic fiend, so I usually use a bit more of that), but I'll try to give you a good balanced version.

What you'll need:

• 2 Ripe Avocados


• Juice of half a lime


• 1 tsp Cumin


• 1 tsp Chili Powder


• 3-4 Tbs Salsa (While I wish I could say some obscure random salsa from a mom and pop farm in some obscure city is the best, Pace Chunky medium salsa really works the best in my opinion)


• 2 cloves garlic, pressed through a garlic press. If you don't have a garlic press, you can mince it real fine, but a press tastes way better. Try to avoid using garlic powder

What you do:

1. Cut the avocados in half, remove the pit and scoop their delicious guts into a bowl, mash with a fork.


2. Add all the other ingredient and stir with a fork until evenly blended.

Notes: I've made this in a food processor before to make a bigger batch, but it changes the consistency quite a bit, which personally I wasn't a fan of. Play around with it by adding slightly more or less of various ingredients, or by stirring it longer or shorter for a more pureed or chunky guacamole.

Storage:
Guacamole goes brown really easily. To prevent that, cover it with Saran wrap, and press it down so that it is completely flush with the guacamole, eliminating as many air pockets as possible. This prevents most of the oxygen from reaching the guacamole and oxidizing it.
