Tucson’s Greatest Guacamole

2 ripe avocados

½ c diced red onion

1 c diced tomatoes (any shape high quality)

1 t fresh minced garlic

2 T fresh chopped cilantro (stems okay)

2 T fresh chopped jalapeno

½ t kosher salt/fresh ground black pepper

juice of 1 lime (optional)

½ c chopped scallions (optional)

Chop and mix all ingredients except avocado. Halve avocados, peel and add to bowl. “Smush” together and enjoy!!

I live next to Fallbrook, CA once declared the avacado growing capital but now I think it has competition from many other places in the world. Around here we not only eat guacolmole, we eat avacodos on everthing- tacos, salads, stuffed with shrimp (the perfect balanced food-shrimp for the cholrestoral (sp) and the avocado oil to remove it!) AND BLT's! So you can have your bacon and avacados, too

Love me some Guac.  I'll have to try this one.

When I was in college many moons ago I was so broke I mostly ate rice mixes,  I loved the really cheap stuff.  I worked at a pizza joint and ate a lot of "dead pies" (ones customers didn't pick up or we did wrong... on nights when we didn't have any errors amazingly we would have a dead pie right before closing).  Anyway, one thing I splurged on was the ingredients for a fresh guac mix once in a while.  And beer of course.  That guac wasn't as nice as this one sounds, though.
