Spicy Lime Guacamole — Stacie Lamoore

I wish I could say that this recipe has more of an origin than this, but avocados were on sale at the grocery store and Alex decided he wanted guacamole. I’ve made this recipe for him several times now and I feel like I’ve really gotten it perfect. Alex really loves the finished product. He says that it has the perfect amount of onion, spicy and tart.Picking avocadoes is not an easy thing. Ripe avocadoes are soft and squishy. The first few times I purchased them I bought firm ones then tried to use them for guac. It wasn’t until a nice old man at the store taught me how to pick them that I actually began to pick good ones. If you want to use the avocadoes right away pick soft squishy ones. If you are wanting to use them later the firm ones are what you need.The best way to remove the insides of an avocado is to cut the avocado in half. Remove the pit, either by using a spoon to pop it out, or by using a knife to pull the pit out. After the pit is gone use a spoon to spoon out the meat inside. You can then discard the skins and the pit.
