Cook With Me- Plantain Chips with Guacamole

 Welcome to this new series, where I will be sharing my food with you! 

It is no secret that my phone memory is loaded with pictures of food - food I cooked, or bought - and did absolutely nothing with. A few months ago, I stumbled on an X post asking people to share their monthly dump (JPEGs), but make it food. I gladly added a few of mine. Someone asked if I had a food blog, and I said no, but it got me thinking.

I have always wanted to have a food blog but did not think I had the time. Truth is, I still don't have the time, but sometimes, you just have to make it happen, especially if it is important to you. So, here is my attempt at doing just that!

I am so glad to share this here with you, and I hope it turns out even better than I imagine it.

For this first post, it's not a full meal - it is more of a snack that I totally enjoyed. Guacamole is something I will always love, and it is surprising that this is my first attempt at making it. 

Without missing a beat, let’s get right into it!

This is a one-bowl dish (hallelujah, somebody!) that will have you cleaning the plate before you know it.

Ingredients:

• 1 ripe avocado
• 1 ripe tomatoe – finely diced
• 1 small bulb of onion- finely diced
• Pepper flakes or cayenne pepper (to taste)
• Salt (to taste)
• A slice of lime or lemon

Method:

• Cut open the avocado and remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash with a fork.
• Add the diced tomato, onion, salt, and pepper. The salt and pepper give it a kick, so use as much or little as your heart desires. 
• Squeeze the lime or lemon over the mixture.
• Mix well until combined.

Your guacamole is ready!

I paired mine with some plantain chips and ended up with the most delicious snack! I also saved some to add to my dinner or rice and beans.

Will you be trying this? Let me know how you plan to pair yours!
