Cinco de Mayo, the fifth of May, is a day to remember the victory
of a small group of Mexican soldiers over a larger French army in
the Battle of Puebla in 1862. Commemorate the holiday by feasting
on traditional Mexican fare such as guacamole.
Ingredients:
3 avocados, halved, cored and peeled
juice of 1 lime
½ tsp salt
½ tsp ground cumin
½ tsp cayenne pepper
½ small yellow onion, diced
2 Roma tomatoes, seeded and diced
2 tbsps chopped cilantro
1 clove garlic, minced
Method:
In a large mixing bowl, toss avocados and lime juice. Drain and
reserve juice. Add salt, cumin and cayenne pepper to avocados. Mash
with a potato masher or fork. Fold in onions, tomatoes, cilantro
and garlic. Add 1 tablespoon reserved lime juice. Let sit a room
temperature 1 hour before serving.
