lizzycooks Guacamole with Fresh Lime Juice

Guacamole is a creamy Mexican dip made with avocados. The avocados need to be the perfect ripeness for the best results--not too firm and not too soft. Fresh lime juice really wakes up this tasty version of the dip that is made to go with tortilla chips.

                                            
      
4 medium avocados, peeled and seeded    
1/4 cup onion, chopped
3 tbsp cilantro, chopped
Juice of half a lime
1/4 tsp garlic powder    
      
1 tsp Kosher salt  
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
Frank's Hot Sauce-10 shakes
                                
Mash the avocados in a medium bowl with a fork. Add the remaining ingredients, stir, and chill for at least an hour. Garnish with red pepper flakes.

Pour some margaritas and grab the tortilla chips--you're all set!
