Guacamole? Only with tacos? Not necessarly.

Usually guacamole is served with tacos or chips. But why not serve it as a part of a meal?
Below you will find a recipe for the guacamole - up to you how to serve it ;)
I had it today in tomatoes (emptied of course ;> ), some rice and grilled chicken.


Ingredients:
2 ripe avocados
1/2 red onion, minced (can be white if you don't have red onion)
1-2 serrano chiles, stems and seeds removed, minced (or 1/2 of fresh paprika)
2 tablespoons cilantro leaves, finely chopped
1 tablespoon of fresh lime or lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
A dash of freshly grated black pepper

Cut avocados in half, remove seed and with a spoon remove the interior of avocados. Put it in a bowl. Chop rest of ingredients and add to avocado and mix everything. Add lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste. It's ready to be served! With tacos or not ;))

NB: Depending on the texture you want to obtain, you can either chop the avocado with a fork to get bigger pieces or put everything (or avocado only) in a mixer to make it smooth.
I prefer it not mixed so when you eat it you get a little piece of avocado, a crunchy piece of paprika... But that's my choice ;))

Bon appetit!
