Cinco de Mayo, solved (Part 1)

If you’ve just realized Cinco de Mayo is this week, you need to get your life together! Picture this: It's Thursday. The guacamole you ordered for the table? IT STINKS.

Your family now hates you.

I'm going to show you how to make a much better guacamole. Want social-proof?Tom Arnold called it his favorite appetizer ever. So yeah, its pretty good.

Alright lets get serious because we ain’t all jokes over here at?salesbricks!

Guacamole

Total time:?1 hr 20 minutes

Active prep:?20 minutes

Serves:?6 people? I dunno.

Difficulty:?#SFE

Ingredients

• 3 Haas avocados, halved, scooped
• 1 lime (juiced)
• 2 Roma tomatos (seeded/diced)
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne
• 1/2 medium diced onion
• 1 Jalapeno pepper
• 1/2 Serrano pepper (or a Habanero if you're trying to act all tough)
• bunch of chopped cilantro
• 1 minced garlic clove

Special Equipment

• Potato masher. Works really well to get the avocado just smashed enough

Optional?(but highly encouraged):

• a margarita
• This playlist.

Directions

1. Throw the scooped avocado and lime juice in a large bowl. Toss to coat.
2. Smash in the salt, cumin, and cayenne. But don't mash too much.
3. Alright, that's enough mashing! You OK?
4. Carefully fold in the the onions, tomatoes, cilantro, and garlic.
5. You're free to enjoy the guacamole at this point. But hear me out. If you cover this with plastic wrap and let it sit at room temperature for one hour, it's going to be 2x better. I promise. Go watch an episode of Euphoria. Or SNL. Just do it.
6. Serve with tortilla chips from the Mexican supermarket. The thick ones. Enjoy!

And that’s it! Tune in tomorrow for a pretty easy carnitas recipes. Not as easy as the guacamole, but I believe in you!
