Guacamole

No Super Bowl spread is complete without a bowl of fresh, flavorful guacamole! This creamy avocado dip is loaded with zesty lime, juicy tomatoes, and a kick of jalapeño for the perfect game-day bite. Serve it with tortilla chips or fresh veggies for a guaranteed crowd-pleaser. Make it chunkier or smoother based on your preference—mash lightly for a chunky guac or whip it smooth for a creamy dip.

Ingredients (for 6-8 servings):

  • 3 ripe avocados
  • 1 small red onion, finely diced
  • 1 small tomato, diced
  • 1 jalapeño, finely diced (seeds removed for less heat)
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • Juice of 1-2 limes (to taste)
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
  • 1/4 tsp cumin (optional, for extra depth)

Instructions:

  1. In a mixing bowl, scoop out the avocado flesh and mash with a fork until smooth or slightly chunky, depending on your preference.
  2. Stir in red onion, tomato, jalapeño, cilantro, lime juice, garlic powder, salt, and cumin (if using).
  3. Add more lime or salt if needed for the perfect balance.
  4. Garnish with extra cilantro and serve with tortilla chips, pita chips, or fresh veggies.
