Guacamole is an easy recipe to make and goes with so many meals (fajitas, nachos, fresh salads etc.), or it can also be great for just a snack to have with some tortilla chips. The extra bonus is that it's healthy! Forget those people telling you that Avocados are full of fat (they are but it's good fat- the health professionals will tell you that) and start making some homemade guacamole!
I got this recipe from Food Network here but adapted it to make a smaller portion. The measurements are a bit silly when making one portion, but if you're making it for a group then definitely make the original recipe size. It will not go to waste - its fabulous!

It really is pertinent that your avocado is ripe and ready to eat. You can ensure this by squeezing the avocado and if it feels a bit malleable then you should be good! Ensure to taste a small bit of your guacamole to see if your seasoning is right.
