Authentic Puerto Rican Guacamole

My friend Vilma grew up in Puerto Rico and has amazing recipes. This is one of my favorite, and sometimes instead of a snack or a side, it ends up being my dinner. It is that good! But don’t take my word for it, try it yourself.

You will need:
Avocados
Tomatoes
Onion
Lime
Cilantro
Garlic
Cumin
Salt

This recipe serves about 4 – First mash up 3 hass avocados (click here to find out how to tell if an avocado is ripe). Next add the juice of two limes. Dice half of an onion and three roma tomatoes (minus the guts) and mix it in. Add 1 large minced garlic clove or 2 small ones. Chop just the cilantro leaves, and put in about 2 tablespoons. Then add salt and cumin to taste. I start with 1 teaspoon and gradually increase from there until I’m happy with the flavor.
