Instructions
Wash your hands with soap and water, then gather all your kitchen gear and ingredients and put them on a clean counter.
- With the help of an adult, slice the avocado in half. Remove the pit and scoop out the insides with a spoon. Put the avocado on a cutting board or in a bowl and using a fork, mash it until it is still chunky, not smooth.
- Add the diced tomato, diced onion and torn up or minced cilantro leaves. Squeeze the lime and add the juice. Sprinkle in the salt.
- Stir it all together, but not too much. Add hot sauce and/or black beans, if you like.
- Move the guacamole to a serving bowl and get creative to shape and decorate as a bat! Then, try it with baby carrots, snap peas, jicama sticks, or any of your favorite veggies!
Note: Put the avocado pits in the guacamole to prevent it from turning brown from the air. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate no more than four hours.
