How Do You Enter?

Visit Avocados from Mexico on Facebook between Jan. 5th – Jan. 15th. You’ll be able to enter your favorite iPad winning guacamole dip.

I’ve already entered my recipe. Here’s a screen shot. It’s super easy to do. I figure, it’s a win win situation. Even if I don’t win a prize, I can still eat my guacamole dip. I win either way!

For those of you who are curious about my recipe, here it is. It’s pretty simple!

The first step is choosing the right avocados. For a creamier dip, choose avocados that are more ripe. For chunkier guacamole, chose avocados that are a bit more firm.

Dice the avocados, tomatoes, jalapeno pepper and half of the white onion. (If you like it spicy, leave the seeds in the jalapeno pepper. I recommend taking them out before dicing.)

Add avocados, tomatoes, jalapeno pepper and onion into a large bowl. Stir around until evenly mixed.

NOTE: The more you mix, the creamier your dip becomes.

Add a teaspoon of Onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, some pepper and a 1/4 teaspoon of cumin.

Mix seasoning in.

Our favorite chips to use are the Mission long tortilla chips.

Enjoy!
