Guacamole

Guacamole is one of the most beloved Mexican foods served in the Mexican restaurants as a dip with crispy tortillas along with salsa. It is made with fresh avocados. I like to use it as a substitute to butter on my grilled sandwiches as avocados are loaded with nutrients and healthy fats.
Guacamole with fresh avocados
Ingredients: 
2 fresh soft avocados (cut them into half, remove the seed and scoop the flesh out into a bowl)  
1 small ripe tomato chopped
Cilantro 4-5 sprigs
Half a small onion finely diced
spring onions(optional)
Fresh lime juice
1 jalapeno/Serrano chilies minced
Salt and pepper to taste

Method:
Mash all the ingredients together with a spoon or fork. Season it with salt and pepper and serve immediately. If serving later add tomatoes just before serving. Cover it with a plastic wrap to avoid changing color.

Note: 

1.Leaving avocado pit in the bowl with guacamole, this prevents it from turning brown to some extent.
2.Can be eaten with store bought tortilla chips or homemade baked tortilla chips, in tacos or as a spread on sandwiches.
