Smoky Guacomole

BBQ season is back and this is a great addition to any burger.

1 tbsp olive oil
1/2 small onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 to 2 tsp minced canned chipotle pepper in adobo sauce
2 soft ripe avocados
2 tbsp fresh lime juice
Salt
1 tomato, seeded and diced
2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro


  • Heat oil in a small skillet over medium low heat.  Sauté onion and garlic for about 3 minutes or until soft and just starting to turn golden.  Remove from heat and stir in 1 tsp chipotle.  Let cool.  (Add more chipotle for a hotter guacamole if you like heat).
  • Peel and pit avocados and place in a bowl.  Using a fork mash avocados, adding lime juice and 1/2 tsp salt.  Stir in onion mixture.  Add more chipotle to taste, if desired.  Place plastic wrap directly on the surface of guacamole and refrigerate for up to 4 hours.
  • Just before serving, fold tomato and cilantro into guacamole and season to taste with salt.
Makes about 2 cups
