Chipotle Guacamole

It seems as though McCormick Chipotle Chile Powder is making it's way into just about everything I make lately. I made some guacamole today and decided to try it out chipotle style and it worked really, really well!

This is super simple so I'm not going to make it more complicated than it is.

Chipotle Guacamole

Ingredients:

• 2 Avocados, pitted, peeled
• 2 Pinches of Salt
• A couple grinds of Black Pepper (about 1/4t)
• 1/4t  of McCormick Chipotle Chile Powder

Method:

1. Roll knife around the avocado. Twist two halves in opposite directions until they separate. One side of the avocado will hold the pit. While CAREFULLY holding the avocado in one hand, snap the knife into the pit. When blade is lodged into pit, horizontally twist the avocado and the pit will come out without losing any of the flesh of the fruit.
2. Spoon out anything that's green that's not skin. and put it in a bowl.
3. Smash the avocado with a fork until soft. Then you can begin to stir until smooth.
4. Add salt, pepper and Chipotle Powder. Stir.
5. Enjoy with your favorite chip! Very, very simple and delicious!

If you don't eat your guacamole right away, make sure you cover your guac right away or it will turn a dark shade of green that will freak you out to the point of not wanting to eat it. Just lay some plastic wrap over the bowl, then press it down directly on top of the dip. It should be touching the dip. Eliminate all air within the bowl and refrigerate. You can avoid the 'Hulk'ing of your guac by adding a little citric acid in the form of fresh lime juice. Keep in mind that this will change the flavor. I don't think it adds anything to this recipe so I leave it out, but if you take out the chipotle powder, and make regular guacamole, it tastes great!
