Guacamole and sauce with chips

6 Servings

Ingredients

QuantityIngredient
3Ripe avocados
¼cupMinced Bermuda onion
1smallJalapeno pepper; minced
½cupSour cream
½smallFresh tomato; peeled, seeded and diced
Salt
Shredded lettuce
Tortilla sauce (see index)
Hot sauce (see index)

Directions

1. Peel and pit avocado. Mash the flesh until smooth.

2. Add onion, pepper, sour cream and tomato and blend well. Season to taste with salt.

3. Mound Guacamole on shredded lettuce on 6 salad plates and serve with Tortilla Chips and Hot Sauce. Be sure to use very ripe California avocados.

We use a potato masher to blend it all together. A food processor could be used just to blend the avocado, but not the rest of the ingredients. It makes it too smooth. Canned peppers are good because they are consistent.

Guacamole must be made fresh. You cannot store guacamole. Lemon juice bleaches it but does not improve the flavor.
