Food Processor

Ingredients

3 avocados halved, pitted and diced in shell
½ red onion
1 jalapeno seeds and veins removed (optional)
1 clove garlic crushed
½ cup cilantro ½ bunch fresh
juice of 1 lime
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ - ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper

Instructions

Chop ½ of the onion into four pieces and place in a food processor. Cut the stem off the jalapeno and deseed (optional - if you leave the seeds in, it will be hotter), and add to the food processor. Cut garlic into four pieces and add to food processor. Add cilantro, lime, salt, and cayenne pepper. Pulse until everything is chopped into small pieces. The goal is a fine chop, don't process it too much, or it will become minced. Combine the mixture with mashed avocados!
Serve with chips and veggies!

Notes

To store: There are several ways to prevent your guac from browning on top aka oxidizing. First, make sure to store it in an airtight container and place the pits of the avocados in it. Cover with a layer of lime juice and place the lid on the container. When you are ready to serve it, pour off the layer of lime juice, remove pits, mix and serve.
