Guacamole in our Molcajete!!

You know how when you go to a fancy restaurant, you can order guacamole and they make it right there by your table...well..welcome to the Wong and Jobke household where we can make you homemade guac tableside as well! (We are very excited about our Molcajete :) )

Ingredients:
2 jalapenos finely chopped (de-seeded)
1 clove garlic
1/2 onion finely chopped
1 plum tomato (chopped)
2 TBSP cilantro (chopped)
2 avocados, peeled, pitted and cut into large chunks (save one pit - I forgot this so I totally want to remind you to save the pit!)
2-3 TBSP lime juice
salt to taste

Place jalapenos and garlic in molcajete and pound with tejolote until a paste forms.Add the onion, tomato, cilantro, and avocado.With the tejolote, lightly mash and blend the mixture, which should remain slightly chunky. Season to taste with the lime juice and salt.

To prevent discoloring, place the avocado pit back in the guac and adhere plastic wrap the surface of the guac. Let sit for 30 minutes to allow flavors to blend.
