Guacamole

Have you ever been to a Mexican restaurant that serves table side guacamole?  THIS IS IT!  The flavor is so fresh and tasty...I could eat it for a meal.  This isn't really a "recipe" per say as it is instructions.  You can add as much or as little of everything as you like.  I like to allow 1 whole avocado per person, so depending on how many people you are feeding, adjust accordingly.

First, slice the avocados in half lengthwise.

Then, using your knife, give the pit a good whack.  Watch your fingers!  Once the knife is wedged into the pit, give a slight twist and the pit will pop right out.  Cool, huh!

Now, I'm not one of those people who thinks you have to have a special tool for everything in the kitchen.  Stores are filled with little gadgets for removing avocados from the skin.  A spoon is all you need.  Seriously.

Scoop all of the delicious goodness out of the skin and into a mixing bowl.

To your avocados, add a generous pinch of salt and garlic powder.  Then, using a fork, start mashing the avocado.  Please, PLEASE don't mash it into a weird green looking paste.  Leave some big chunks in there.  Trust me.  It makes the whole dish.

Next add a generous amount of Salsa, Pico de Gallo Style.  And don't skimp!  The guac should be nice and chunky!

Garnish with some extra cilantro and serve with tortillas and chips.  Definitely a crowd pleaser!
