Creamy, Bright and Nutritious


Lots to do today so I needed something quick for breakfast to fix for myself (hubby fixed food for the kids). Looking on the counter, I saw what I expected to be a rotten avocado.  Turns out, it was perfect!  So, I threw together a quick guacamole that is good by itself and tortilla chips or on top of fried or scrambled eggs.  I just used what I had on hand:

  • 1 avocado
  • 1 roma tomato
  • 1/2 of a lemon
  • garlic powder
  • dried onion
  • cilantro 
Cut avocado in half, pop out seed and with the meat still in the hull, make close slices one way and then turn 90* the other way and make close slices again.  Take spoon and scoop out the avocado.  With fork, mash to consistency you prefer (I like a bit of bite instead of mush).  Dice up tomato (if you are using a juicy one, I'd squeeze some of the seeds out first) and add to avocado.  Add garlic, onion, cilantro and any pepper/heat to taste.  I didn't use salt because the chips are salty but if you're going to be using this with eggs, you might want some to taste.

I have a much more in depth recipe that I like but this was great for breakfast and should keep me filled up for a while.
