It Really Couldn’t be easier…

æ      Cut the beef tomato in half and scoop out the seeds. Chop the tomato flesh into tiny dice & place in a bowl. Add the finely diced red onion

æ      Cut the avocados in half & remove the stones. Scoop out the flesh including the dark green flesh close to the skin. Place in the bowl with the tomato & red onion, add the lemon juice, this will help prevent the avocado from discolouring

æ      Add the crushed garlic, chilli powder, Tabasco, season well with salt & pepper

æ      Combine the ingredients crushing the avocado with the back of a fork until you achieve a rough or smooth texture depending on your preference

æ      Heat the olive oil in a heavy based frying pan

æ      Cut the tortilla wraps into triangles & shallow fry until golden brown on both sides

æ      Remove from frying pan & sprinkle lightly with crushed salt

æ      Serve warm with guacamole, wedge of lime & some fresh coriander

Just A Little Patience…

Recently my local ALDI had avocado on special - a twin pack costing just 44cent, the only downside was they were far from ripe.  Undeterred I purchased two packs, on arriving home I unpacked them, placed them in a bowl on the kitchen table & three weeks later they were perfectly ripe… it was worth the wait!!
