Guacamole

Happy Cinco de Mayo!  Guacamole is best when made fresh and enjoyed with chips and Mexican beer, which is exactly the way I will do it today.  The lime does double duty by punching up the flavor as well as keeping the avocado from browning.  Feel free to substitue a little red onion in place of the shallot.  Delicioso!

4 avocados, pitted, peeled and mashed
Juice of 1-2 limes, to taste
4 Tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1 chopped shallot
1 clove garlic, minced
2 small roma tomatoes, chopped
Salt, to taste
Tapatio or other mexican hot sauce (optional)

Simply mix ingredients together and serve immediately.
Serves 4-6
