I was working as a chef in a Mexican restaurant, and one day, the owner asked me to make guacamole for the staff lunch. Now, I had never made guacamole before, but I was confident in my culinary skills. I gathered all the ingredients, mashed up the avocados, added the tomatoes and onions, and gave it a good mix. As I proudly presented my creation to the staff, I noticed their puzzled expressions. Turns out, I had forgotten to add the lime juice! The guacamole was still tasty, but it was missing that tangy kick. Lesson learned: always double-check your recipe!

Now, let’s move on to the recipe. Here’s what you’ll need:

And here’s how to make it:

1. Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop out the flesh into a bowl.
2. Mash the avocados with a fork until they reach your desired consistency.
3. Add the diced tomato, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, salt, cumin, and chili powder to the bowl.
4. Mix everything together until well combined.
5. Taste and adjust the seasonings if necessary.
6. Serve immediately with tortilla chips and enjoy!
