Mexican food is one of my great loves. I never tire of eating nachos, quesadilla, fajitas etc. This recipe is for a good friend of mine that resides in london and is always asking me for a easy recipe to add a bit zing to the boring chicken wrap . I know this is a bit basic but we all have to start somewhere right? Homemade Gucamole is also a fab dip to make for pre night out drinks to serve with tortilla chips. Which I know she'll love ! 
Makes one bowl. 
Will keep for one day so half the recipe if you won't use it all. 
Ingredients : 
2 perfectly ripe avocados
 ( to know if they are ripe they should feel slightly soft but not mushy or have a black skin it's best to but them 2/3 days before you want to use them). 
1 red onion finally chopped 
1 garlic clove crushed 
A dash of tabasco 
1 red chilli finally deseeded and chopped. If you don't like it too spicy add a tsp of sweet chilli sauce instead 
1 small bunch of coriander chopped 
1 tomato chopped into a small dice ( the Mexicans sometimes use pomegranate seeds in the winter when tomatoes aren't in season they add a nice bite to the guacamole).  
Juice of 2 limes 
Salt and pepper. 
Method: 
Half the avocados and take out the stone scoop out the green flesh and mash with a folk or a potato masher. 
Add to a bowl with onion, garlic, chilli, Tabasco,coriander, tomato and lime juice. 
Mix well 
Taste 
Add salt and pepper. 
Serve !
