Cajun Guacamole

I received a pack of delicious and ripe California Avocadoes as part of the Foodbuzz Featured Publisher Program and I made this delicious dip to go with some tortilla chips. I usually make the regular guacamole, but I wanted to spice it up a little bit. So I made this guacamole with a Cajun touch. It turned out delicious and spicy and was a perfect evening snack. I served this with some wholegrain flax seed tortilla chips from TJ's.

The recipe is so simple and can be whipped up in minutes.

Ingredients
Fresh California Avocados - 2
Tomatoes - 1 small sized finely chopped
Red onion - 1/4 cup finely chopped
Garlic - 2 cloves finely minced
Fresh lemon juice - 1 tablespoon
Fresh cilantro for garnish
Cayenne Pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
Salt to taste
Freshly ground black pepper

Directions
Peel the avocados and remove the seed. Coarsely mash the avocados.

Add all the ingredients and mix well. Garnish with cilantro leaves. Serve immediately. The avocados oxidize quickly and turn black.

Serve as a dip with any appetizer. Also tastes great in sandwiches.
