put a little guac in your guacamole

So about a year ago i had this legend... wait for it... ARY guacamole at a friends house. First of all if you didn't know im obsessed with mexican food and guacamole tends to be a favorite of mine. I just had to have the recipe. It's extremely simple and literally takes no time what so ever, and it's freaking delicious. What more could you ask for? Anyways since i'm making it for a girl's night out i thought i would post the recipe and directions. Why not right?

You will need:
6 avocados
1 red onion
2 large tomatoes
1 lime
1 package of spicy guacamole seasoning
1 package of mild guacamole seasoning


First, begin by slicing your avocados in half and scooping them out into a large bowl. If you've never worked with avocado, the trick is to take a large spoon and just scoop them out. Save four of the cores of your avocados and set aside for later. Take a potato masher and have at it. I like it not completely smooth but a little chunky. Go ahead and stir in your packets of guacamole seasoning.
Next, chop your tomatoes. I generally go by look but for an exact measurement I wind up using about 1 and a half tomatoes. I'm not a huge fan of onion so I generally only chop up half of it. If you really like onion feel free to use the entire onion. Stir them both into your dip.
Lastly, add the juice from the entire lime and stir well. Add the cores you saved into your dip. They will let the guacamole retain it's green color and not turn brown. ENJOY. :)
