Liesel's
Guacamole
2 ripe Haas avocados (not Florida or Slimcado
-- Haas)
1/2 c. sour cream (reduced fat is still good)
1 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 Tbs. chili powder
2 Roma tomatoes, seeded and diced
salt, to taste
Peel and chop the avocados into a bowl. Mash with a
fork or potato masher (here's the real test of how ripe
your avocados are) until creamy but still lumpy. Stir
in the sour cream, garlic and chili powders. Fold in
tomatoes.Grab a chip in one hand and the salt shaker
in another -- taste, add salt, taste, add salt, taste,
salt... Although avocadoes suck up salt like nobody's
business, you also don't want to overdo because your
chips (I recommend Tostito's Multigrain!) will be salty,
too.
NOTE: Adding lemon to keep the guac
from turning brown doesn't really help much, and it
makes it too sour in my opinion. Sliced avocados turn
brown from exposure to air (so the wive's tale about
throwing the pit into the middle of the guac to preserve
color will only keep the guac UNDER THE PIT from turning
brown). If not serving immediately, put plastic wrap
over the guacamole and press down to the surface to
reduce air exposure, and refridgerate. Then make
me a margarita, por favor.
