Ingredients
  

  • 4 large Haas Avocados ripened
  • 2 Roma Tomatoes diced with seeds removed
  • 1/2 of a Red Onion small dice
  • 1/4 cup Cilantro Leafs rough chop
  • 1 tsp Lime Zest
  • 1 TBS Lime Juice
  • 1 1/4 tsp Ancho Chile Powder
  • 1 tsp Smoked Sea Salt or regular
  • 1/4 tsp Black Pepper
  • 1/4 tsp Cumin

Method
 

  1. Cut avocados in half all the way around, length wise. (Use the tip of a sharp knife to pull out the seed, which you can then plant).
  2. Use a spoon to gently scoop out the avocado. Dice the avocado in large chunks and add to a bowl. Add the remaining ingredients and toss without completely mashing the avocado.
  3. Serve with chips or as a condiment.

Notes

This guacamole is just perfect. It is bright, fresh and flavorful but the ancho chile powder provides a deep smokey flavor. I made a batch when a group of friends were over and trust me, it didn’t last long. Everyone loved that it wasn’t mashed and you could still see whole avocado pieces. And I loved that they loved it!
