My favorite guacamole

In a taste test tonight, this homemade guacamole beat out the guac from Chipotle.

Items needed:
1 ripe avocado (squeezable but not falling apart)
1 lime
Sea Salt
Optional: 1 roma tomato, 1 loose handful of cilantro, 1 jalapeno, 1/4 onion

Slice avocado in half, then squeeze halves into a bowl. Mash avocado with a fork. Add juice from one lime and season to taste with sea salt. This recipe is simple and delicious. For variety, add any or all of the following: 1 chopped roma tomato, 1-2 tablespoons of chopped cilantro, 1 chopped jalapeno, and/or 1/4 onion, finely chopped.

Enjoy with tortilla chips (I found some pretty good baked ones at Trader Joes). Or, try this guacamole in a wheat bread sandwich with sharp cheddar and sprouts.
