Well for those of you that enjoyed watching Superbowl XLIII I am sure you also enjoyed snacking on game day snacks. In my house and probably most homes, chili is a staple on game day. My husband makes a great chili which with his permission will be posting soon. Another great game day staple is guacamole and tostitos. There are some many unhealthy foods that accompany sporting events, , that you can at least feel a bit healthier eating guacamole. I made this for a BBQ this weekend and also for Superbowl. It is one of the better guacamole's I have tasted, with a nice creamy texture and tangy citrus punch to it. And of course the cilantro adds a nice fresh taste and aroma to it.
3 large very ripe avocados
1 lime juiced
1 tomato diced (sometimes I add 1 and 1/2)
1-2 fresh chilis, finely chopped and seeded or 1 jalapeno.
1/2 medium red onion, finely chopped
1 T finely chopped cilantro
2 T sour cream
2 drops of hot sauce

HOLY GUACAMOLE YUM GOODNESS!!
This is going to sound insane, but how do you tell an avocado is ripe? I either end up cutting them too early, or letting them get over-ripe (& mushy) & running out for store bought guac at the last minute!
For all my magic in the kitchen, I have never mastered guacamole!!
An avocado is ripe when it is still firm, but yields when pressure is applied to it. Color can be an indicator, but not always, I tend to buy darker avocados that yield quite a bit when pressure applied.
If you buy an under ripe avocado you can put it in a paperbag (with a banana or apple) this will accelerate the ripening process.
I like the addition of the sourcream in your guac. This is always one of my favourites. We can't get enough!!
i love guacamole, and yours looks great! lots of cilantro and lime is key!
