Happy Super Bowl LIX!

I’m getting ready to host our friends and our daughter for Super Bowl Sunday. Our son-in-law has to work today, but I’m ready to load our daughter up with lots of goodies to take home to him so he doesn’t feel left out.

I just prepared the guacamole and I swear, every time I make it, it seems to taste better. I have a couple versions of guacamole in my blog and this one is my newest. I love jalapeños, but decided not to add them this time, only because I’m serving jalapeño poppers (lots of them!) as well and I thought I’d leave them out. When I tried it, it didn’t taste like anything was missing, it’s just as good as my guac with the jalapeños.

I started by halving my avocados and placing them in a large bowl. I set aside some of the pits to use if I have leftover guac. Unlikely, but possible. If I do have leftovers, I place the pits on top of the guac and cover it tightly. This helps to keep my guacamole from turning brown the next day.

Once I had all 9 of the avocados in my bowl, I added the kosher salt, cumin and red pepper flakes. I then added the zest of two of the limes and the juice of all three. Next, I added the garlic and onion and mashed everything together with a potato masher. I then added the cilantro and gently folded it in. Once you have the guacamole mixed, place in a serving bowl, serve with tortilla chips and enjoy.

Ingredients
