Guacamole

For some reason, I've had this insane craving for avocado. I keep trying to buy them, but I get them and they aren't ripe, then they are too ripe.......well I finally bought a winning few...and right in time for cinco de mayo. I used my delicious ripe avocados to make a spicy chipotle guacamole.

It's delicious and addictive. I love spicy food and my mouth was on fire, but I couldnt stop eating it... I used the recipe below (after the break), from Life's Ambrosia.




Ingredients
2 large avocados
4 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, chopped small
1 tablespoon adobo sauce
1/4 teaspoon cumin
juice from 1/2 lime
1/4 cup minced red onion
kosher salt to taste

Directions

1. Cut the avocados in half lengthwise and remove the pit. Scoop the flesh of the avocado into a bowl. Mash the avocado with a fork, until mostly smooth.
2. Mix in remaining ingredients. Chill for 30 minutes to give the flavors a chance to meld.

I only used 3 peppers and it was still hot, and I LOVE really spicy food. I also used 3 med sized avocados. I had to plop in a big dollop of sour cream to cool it down.....but I'd definitely make it again!
