Holy guacamole!

I hate to gloat, but I love my homemade guacamole. It's super easy, and there are different ways to make it, depending on what ingredients I have on hand. My father-in-law always asks for me to make it whenever we're together, and my hubby loooooves it.

Here's how I make it.

Ingredients:
Avocados (however many you want, I usually use about 2)
Pre-made Pico de Gallo or Ro-Tel Tomatoes, whatever you can find (Or make your own pico with tomatoes, cilantro, onion, and jalapeno)
Garlic Powder
Garlic Salt
Ground Cumin
Chili Powder
Lemon Pepper
Lemon Juice (squeezed from lemons or poured from a bottle)


Preparation: Combine everything to taste.

Everyone has different taste preferences, so I don't want to give you specific measurements. I personally like my guacamole more garlic-y lemon-y, so I tend to add quite a bit more lemon juice and garlic powder. Just get out your tortilla chips and taste as you add ingredients. Make it your own!

I made a huge batch yesterday and thought I should share. After that, I made my homemade pizza for him!

For a slightly different twist - smash up some roasted garlic instead of the powder and add a little bit of a chipotle in adobo sauce.
