Pico de Gallo Guacamole


Gerry makes a delicious guacamole. There are no real measurements but use this as a guide, doubling as necessary.  This makes about 2 cups.

2 whole firm ripe avocados (you can use frozen chunks* if your avocados aren't very good when you slice into them. See photo.)

2 large ripe red tomatoes, chopped

2 tomatillos, chopped

1/4 red onion, diced

2 T. lime juice, preferably from fresh limes

Zest from a fresh lime 

Healthy bunch of chopped fresh cilantro, to taste

Salt to taste

Simply mix the avocado chunks, tomato, onion, cilantro, lime juice and salt and serve with chips!

*I take a bag of ripe, but not overripe avocados and skin and pit them. Mash them up, still chunky. Spoon them with a scoop onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment. Place the sheet in the freezer for a few hours. Take them off the parchment by frozen scoop and put in a large plastic tub, or in a Ziploc bag. Store in freezer until you want to use. Chunk them us still frozen if using for guacamole.
