An authentic Mexican appetizer, this fresh guacamole is fused with buttery avocados, tangy lime and zesty chili powder. We dare you to put the chip down.
Roast the garlic in the toaster oven or oven. If you don't need it roasted, you can just mince it raw.
Pit the avocado and scoop it out of the shell. Put that in a medium bowl.
Squeeze the lime and add the juice to the avocado. Mash to your desired consistency. (Some people like creamy guac and some like a chunky guac. We do a happy medium.).
Dice the onion, tomato and cilantro and add to the bowl. Add the spices. Mix with a spoon or spatula until well incorporated.
If you aren't planning on serving it right away, keep the pit and add it to your guacamole. Store it covered in the fridge with a tight seal to prevent oxidization.
