Guac Guac Guac It Up

Mexican food is extremely high up on my favorite types of food and no mexican meal is complete without guacamole!  I'm a sucker for a small local Mexican restaurant but I also like some of the chains, my favorite being Chipotle.  So when I wanted to make guacamole for my superbowl party I immediately looked for a copy cat recipe of their guac!  This is the recipe I found, it was for a huge amount so I cut it down and made some alterations!

Ingredients
  • 6 avocados
  • 1 red onion, diced
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons of green pepper hot sauce (more if you want it spicier, less if you dont!)
  • 3 limes 
  • salt to taste
 1. Half the avocados 

2.  Remove pits
Tips: Stab a knife into the pit and it will come out cleanly

 
3. Scoop out the meat 
 Tip: I saved a couple because supposedly it keeps it fresh if you store the guac with the pit

 4. Mash slightly so there are still a few chunks.  

 5. Add the hot sauce, onion garlic and lime juice.  
*As a college student I obviously dont have a juicer so I just squeezed mine by hand the best I could.
 
 Guacamole is really simple to make and its great for parties and potlucks!
