1good size jalapenodiced (if you like it extra spicy, leave the seeds in)
A good size handful of cilantroroughly chopped
Cuminchili powder, salt, pepper; all sprinkled to taste (I tried measuring it and they came out to around ½ tsp. each of cumin and chili powder, ¾ of a teaspoon of salt and a liberal grinding of pepper). And if you're really wanting to feel the burn, maybe a tiny bit of cayenne pepper (tread lightly!)
½shot of tequila¾ of an ounce
The juice of 1-2 limesto taste
Chips for dipping and a big old Margarita!
Instructions
Mash up the avocado so that it is smooth with a decent amount of texture to it.
Add the next five ingredients and mix well.
Season the guacamole to taste (this is the fun part because you get to taste it as you go).
Add the tequila and lime juice and taste until you have the balance that you're looking for.
Serve immediately or within the next few hours (I cover the bowl with saran wrap touching the top layer of guacamole to reduce the amount of brown).
