Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ sweet yellow onion diced
  • 1 clove garlic about 1 tsp, fresh, minced, optional
  • 3-4 avocados scooped out of the skin and chopped
  • 1 tsp brown sugar
  • ¼ tsp red pepper flakes optional
  • ½ lime juice only
  • ½ tsp fresh ground pepper
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ cup fresh cilantro chopped or 1 tsp dried cilantro flakes
  • 1-2 tsp tequila optional, but a great idea addition

Instructions

  • Heat 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet.
    1 tbsp butter, 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Add onion and saute until softened and translucent.
    ½ sweet yellow onion
  • Add chopped garlic (if using) and saute with the onion for 1 minute.
    1 clove garlic
  • Sprinkle the onion and garlic with 1 teaspoon of brown sugar, and cook for 1 minute.
    1 tsp brown sugar
  • Take the onion & garlic off the heat to cool before mixing into the avocados.
    3-4 avocados
  • Place all ingredients in a medium bowl.
    ¼ tsp red pepper flakes , ½ lime , ½ tsp fresh ground pepper, ½ tsp salt, ¼ cup fresh cilantro, 1-2 tsp tequila
  • Mash together gently, but leave the avocado a little chunky (at least that is how I love it).

Notes

  • Use avocados that give slightly when you squeeze them.
  • You'll get the best tart flavor from squeezing your own room-temperature lime. 
  • Let the guacamole sit for 5-10 minutes so the flavors blend.
  • Store leftovers for up to 3 days.
