Ingredients:
  • 4 Avocadoes
  • 5 Limes
  • Sea Salt
  • Pepper
  • Red Onion
  • Cumin
  • Fresh Cilantro
Instructions:
  1. Slice all four avocadoes in half, length wise, then use a spoon to remove the green flesh from the rinds. Place the eight hemispheres in a bowl after removing the pits from the flesh. Leave the pits in the bowl, as they help the avocadoes from turning brown.
  2. Place limes on a hard surface and roll them back and forth while applying reasonable pressure. This allows for a greater release of juice. Slice four limes into quarters and squeeze into bowl. The sooner the lime is added the better, as the citrus also deters avocado browning.
  3. Slice the fifth lime into eighths
  4. Dice red onion and add to bowl.
  5. Briefly slice the avocado hemispheres using knife, but be sure to leave sizeable chunks. Next, using a potato smasher, smash the chunks of avocado to produce a guacamole-esque paste. Personally, I leave some sizeable chunks, but smash to personal preference.
  6. Dice fresh cilantro after rinsing. Focus on the leaves and the leave the stems for the compost bin, the leaves carry the most flavor. Add diced cilantro to taste.
  7. Mix contents of bowl and season with sea salt, pepper and cumin to taste. Avocado is an aphrodisiac that might just make the night for you and your senorita/senor. 
  8. Test taste of guac- I usually add the rest of my fifth lime, but again, it all depends on your preference for that citrusy bite.
  9. Emerge from your kitchen bearing the bowl of green heaven and watch as it disappears remarkably quickly. At particularly enjoyable fiestas this guac has been known to inspire the abandonment of chips and the use of certain celebrator’s own hands as conveyance from bowl to mouth.  In one case, even this shortcut was skipped and the face was simply placed in the bowl. I suggest that a request be made that this direct mouth on bowl action be at least restrained until most of the guac is gone.  It is a terrible waste because after this maneuver, the remaining guac is good for little more than a rejuvenating face paste taking the place of mud at a spa treatment.
