Steps:
- Cut avocados in half around the pit. Separate the halves. Pop out pit with spoon, then scoop flesh of avocados into a bowl. Squeeze the juice of a lemon over the avocados. Squeeze the juice with the lemon halves facing cut-side up, allowing the juice to spill down over the sides of the lemon into the bowl. This method keeps the seeds in the lemon and out of the guacamole. Add garlic, jalapeno, tomato, onion and salt to the bowl. Mash and mix the ingredients into a chunky dip using a fork. Serve with blue corn tortilla chips.

It may not be the most beautiful dish, but it is an easy and delicious avocado soup base that can be served warm, room temperature, or even cold.

Steps:
- Combine lemon juice, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and 1 clove garlic in a bowl. Season marinade with salt and pepper, keeping in mind that you will also use jerk seasoning on the chicken later.
- Pound chicken with the flat side of a meat mallet or a rolling pin until about 1/2 inch thick, being careful not to pierce the meat. Put chicken in a gallon-sized resealable plastic bag and add marinade. Squish bag to coat chicken; marinate in the fridge for at least 3 hours, ideally overnight for the fullest flavor.
- Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate. Sprinkle chicken with jerk seasoning and place on grill. Grill chicken breasts until cooked through and juices run clear, about 4 minutes on each side. Brush with juice of 1 lime immediately after coming off the grill. Cool slightly and shred. Cover and keep warm.
- Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large nonstick pan over medium heat until fragrant. Add onion and 3 cloves garlic. Cook until garlic is lightly browned and fragrant and onion is soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low and add 3 avocados. Saute just until avocados are warm and edges are slightly browned. Pour in orange juice and cook for 2 minutes, stirring once. Remove from heat.
- Combine hot water and chicken bouillon to make a broth. Pour into a blender. Add avocado mixture and juice of 2 limes; blend until smooth. Pour into bowls and serve with the shredded chicken, sweet corn, tomatoes, remaining avocado, cilantro, Cheddar cheese, and jalapeno.

HOLY GUACAMOLE!
This guacamole recipe is simple and reminds us of the Mexican restaurants that prepare fresh guacamole at the table.

Steps:
- 1. Finely dice the garlic clove, shallot, and jalapeno. NOTE: You can increase or decrease the amount of heat by adding or reducing the amount of jalapeno.
- 2. Place the three ingredients in a mortar and pestle. Add coarse salt and crush until a pulp. You will see the juices of the pepper, shallot, and garlic come out. Set aside.
- 3. Dice the tomatoes. If using a juicy type of tomato (like on the vine or plum) remove some of the seeds and pulp to prevent the guacamole from becoming too watery. Place diced tomatoes in a bowl.
- 4. Divide the avocados in half. Remove the pit and scoop out the pulp with a spoon and place in a bowl. Move quickly to the next step to prevent browning. TIP: To easily remove the pit, give it a whack with the sharp end of a large knife and twist. It will pop right out!
- 5. Squeeze the lime over the avocados. It's OK to get a small amount of lime pulp in there.
- 6. Add the crushed mixture and freshly cracked pepper.
- 7. Roll the cilantro up and cut with kitchen shears. Stems and all. Sprinkle over the guacamole.
- 8. Take a fork or potato masher and give it a quick mash to mix everything together. Taste and add more salt, pepper, and/or lime juice to taste.
Tips:
- Use ripe avocados: Ripe avocados are creamier and have a richer flavor than unripe avocados.
- Choose the right tomatoes: Roma tomatoes are a good choice for guacamole because they are firm and have a low water content.
- Add some heat: If you like spicy guacamole, add a jalapeño or serrano pepper. You can also add some cayenne pepper or chili powder.
- Use fresh herbs: Fresh cilantro and lime juice are essential ingredients in guacamole. They add a bright, refreshing flavor.
- Don't overmix: Guacamole is best when it is chunky, so don't overmix it. Stir the ingredients together gently until they are combined.
- Serve immediately: Guacamole is best when it is fresh, so serve it immediately after making it.
Conclusion:
Guacamole is a delicious and versatile dip that can be enjoyed in many different ways. It is perfect for parties, picnics, and potlucks.
