Guacamole / Avocado Dip

Gaucamole Dip

Hard to believe something that tastes so rich and creamy is actually a fruit. But what’s really amazing about Avocados from Mexico is that they contain nearly 20 Vitamins, minerals and even phytonutients. Try to use some delicious avocados, at least twice a month and get familiar with the taste. It tastes really awesome. Once you enjoy it I can bet you cannot stop eating it.

The famous Guacamole, you can make from this avocado with tomatoes, chilies and lime is a breath taker snack or appetizer.

Once started, my husband and I cannot stop to put the bowl done, until it is completely finished and we end it with finger licking. This time my younger boy indulged in eating it, he wants more too..he keeps showing his finger to the bowl, wanting to have more. This was one of the best fruit, we can give kids.

I always gave this fruit to my kids when they are infants, since it is the only fruit that has good fat.

Enjoy this Guacamole with Tortilla Scoops, umm..umm…yumm!!!

If you have left over Roti, You can even make Avocado Wraps with stuffing the above Guacamole in the Roti and roll the roti. You Got a delicious wrap. For added flavor, you can use diced bell peppers and onions soaked in lime juice overnight. (When ever I use bell pepper and have roti’s in the fridge, I always take a handful of diced bell peppers and store it with little lime juice in the fridge. The acid of the lime juice, cooks the bell pepper leaving it crispier and very refreshing). You can also add a dollop of sour cream for added taste.
