This guacamole recipe is so easy that you'll be asking yourself why you never made it.  It'll get you making guacamole all the time. 

Ingredients:

..............................................................

• 4 Avocados
• 2 Tomatoes
• ½ Jalapeno
• 1 TSP Garlic
• Lemon Juice (Amount to your liking)
• Garlic Powder (Amount to your liking)
• Salt and Pepper (Amount to your liking)

Process:

      .....................................................................

First you’ll want to cut the tomatoes into small chunks and put those off to the side.  Then do the same with the jalapeno, but don’t forget to take the seeds out.   One thing I’ve learned while cutting a Jalapeno is to not touch your face until you are done cutting and you’ve washed your hands.  Trust me, whatever part of your face you touch will burn like crazy. 

Next, you’ll want to cut the avocados in half and scoop out the avocado into a bowl.  Don’t throw away the pit because they will be useful later on.  Once in the bowl, just mash the entire avocado down with a fork.  Then add in the tomato and jalapeno and mix.

When all is mixed, just mix in salt and pepper, garlic, garlic powder, and lemon juice.  There’s no amount of how much to put in, just put in whatever your taste buds are wanting.   I love garlic so, for me, the more garlic the better.

Once all is mixed together and to you liking, you are all set.  You can serve them in little bowls and enjoy.  It’s the perfect healthy and scrumptious treat.

Fun Fact:

..............................................................................................................

Now a little trick I found, is that if you save the pits of the avocado, that you can put them in the guacamole that it’ll help keep the guacamole good and from the avocado from turning color.  You can also do that if you are just eating half of an avocado.  Just keep the pit and it’ll keep it good for a few extra days.

Bonus Recipe: Wonton Wrapper Chips

.................................................................................

I am addicted to these wonton wrapper chips and they are so good that you don’t even need dip with them.  This recipe is super easy to do.  Here’s what you need:

Ingredients:

• Wonton wrappers
• Coconut Oil Spray

Process:

What you will do is cut the wonton wrappers in half so it looks like a triangle.  You’ll put those onto a cookie sheet.  Next spray the wrappers with coconut oil spray.  An alternative to coconut oil is olive oil spray that works too.   

Preset the oven to 275 degrees.

Put the sheets into the oven and set the timer for about 10-20 minutes.  You’ll have to watch them during that amount of time, and you’ll know they’re done when they are crispy and are golden brown.
