Guacamole

This is one of the simplest and most delicious guacamole recipe I have ever made. Give it a try next time you are craving chips and guacamole. If I am making salsa fresca at the same time I will just mix 1/2 cup in instead of cutting up a seperate tomato, onion and jalapeno.

Notes

You can keep stored skinned avocados or guacamole from browning by sealing them with a vacuum sealer. It prevents oxygen from causing the oxidization that causes off flavors and browning.
