Spencer’s Guacamole

Spencer’s Guacamole

Here’s reason #673 why I like to cook with the kids in the kitchen.  I was making guacamole one night to go with our tacos.  Six year old Spencer sat up on the counter and watched me, and maybe squeezed a lime for me.  The next time we had to make guacamole she said “Can I do it?!”  And I thought of course, let her try, (and I’ll reserve an extra avocado in case I quickly need to make it myself).  But oh my god she NAILED IT.  It was possibly the best guac I’ve ever had! I don’t quite know what she does (hence why I couldn’t provide measurements for the spices because that’s all her) - but she does it way better than I do.  Atta girl!!!!

2 or 3 large ripe avocados

Juice of 2 limes

¼ cup chopped cilantro

Cumin

Garlic powder

Salt and pepper

 

In a small bowl, mash together the avocados with a fork.  Add the rest of the ingredients and mix well.  Serve with tortilla chips.
