Well, today is the final day for NFL football.  Like many people, we’re spending the afternoon and evening with friends and family watching the game. I’m a huge fan of guacamole and have been asked to share my recipe.

Tom’s Superbowl Guacamole

5 ripe avocados
1/2 of a red onion
1 jalapeno
2 Roma tomatoes
garlic powder
salt & pepper
sour cream
lime juice

Start by dicing the red onion, jalapeno, and Roma tomatoes. Set them aside.

Next remove the avocados from their skin. The easy way to do this is to slice it down to the pit all the way around. Pull the two halves apart and remove the pit.

Next scoop the avocado from the skin with a tablespoon. Place all the avocados into a large mixing bowl and mash them. This can be done with a fork for smaller batches but I prefer a potato masher for larger portions.

Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. You want to be able to taste the garlic.

Stir in the diced red onion, jalapeno, and Roma tomatoes.

Add the lime juice and a little bit of sour cream. Stir until well mixed.

Chill for 30 minutes and serve with corn chips and your choice of frosty beverage!
