OMG!!! Guacamole

My husband reminded me this morning of the drawer full of avacados that I needed to use before our weekend trip to New Mexico.

So, what did I do? I called my sister-in-law and said "let's make veggie tacos!" I decided that I would make quacamole the center of the dish.

Here is how it went...

The key players: Avocados (6), Red Pepper (1), Garlic (4 large cloves) and my beloved food processor.

Here is what I did:

First I scooped out the avocados into the food processor bowl.
Second I added the red pepper (sliced into pieces).
Next I added the garlic.

Once the key players were settled into the bowl I added salt to taste, cayenne pepper to taste (not too spicy but enough to add some heat), the juice of one lime, and about a tablespoon of cumin.

Then I pushed ON and let the magic happen.

Too simple, I thought. I need another element. Something more.

Hmmmm....so, I tasted the creamy creation. What did it needed? Not one thing! Nothing!

To make myself feel better I added a little more lime juice for some extra added zing...but that is optional.

I used the guacamole as the base ingredient in a soft taco, but it was delicious as just a dip with tortilla chips.

Easy, Versatile, Tasty!
