Spicy Guacamole - Kristi's




The measurements are not exact. I tend to pour ingrediants in until it looks and tastes good.

2 Avacados, cut up
3 Scoops of Sour Cream (1/3 cup?)
1/2 Tamatoe, chopped up
1/4 Onion, finely chopped
1 Jalepeno Pepper, finely chopped (Add whatever amount you want to make it spicy. See note below)
Garlic Powder
Garlic Garlic from Tastefully Simple
Seasoning Salt

Put all of the ingrediants in a bowl. Mash everything well and stir. Add any additional jalepenos or seasoning to taste.

**Notes**

The hottest part of the jalepeno is the white part in the center of the pepper that the seeds are connected too.

Be careful with the jalepenos because the hot stays on your hands. Do not touch your eyes after handling the pepper. I have heard you can use gloves.

You could use fresh garlic if you have it.

I use a potato masher to mash all of the ingrediants.

I used a food chopper from Pampered Chef to chop up the onion and jalepenos.

**To make this vegan, do not add the sour cream**
