Best Guacamole Ever
You will need
6 avocados
1 small red onion, minced
1 small jalapeno, minced
4 garlic cloves, smashed and minced
1 bunch of cilantro
3 limes, juiced
1 Tablespoon olive oil
Salt and tabasco to taste
1 grapefruit, segmented
1/2 cup sunflower seeds
Mince all of your ingredients before cutting into the avocados. Once everything is combined in the bowl, cut and scoop your avocados out of their skins. You can mash with your hand, a potato masher, or use the tip of a Chef knife to cut through the avocados in the bowl quickly, then hand mix.
Serve with tortilla chips. Garnish the guacamole with grapefruit and sunflower seeds. Chile crisp, pickled red onions, crumbled feta and dukkah also make excellent garnishes. It’s totally up to you! You can also buy tostadas and some lump crab and make lovely crab tostada.
