Make sure to celebrate Cinco de Mayo! Here’s my guacamole recipe from my book, Amy’s Table: Food for Family and Friends. Serve it up with an icy Margarita. Viva el Cinco de Mayo!

Chunky Guacamole
Serves 4-6
Prep time: 10 minutes

Make ahead: Can be made several hours in advance; refrigerate until ready to serve.
Tip: Press plastic wrap directly on the surface of the guacamole; refrigerate until ready to serve. The limejuice keeps it from discoloring.

2 ripe avocados, pitted and diced
½- 1 cup sweet onion, finely diced
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
1 small tomato, seeded and chopped
Juice of 1 lime, or to taste
1 –2 tablespoons finely minced fresh cilantro
Salt, to taste

In a medium bowl, lightly mix all ingredients until well blended. Taste and adjust seasonings with salt and hot sauce. Refrigerate, tightly covered, until ready to serve.
