Easy Blackened Chili Avocado Salad

Or you can call it guacamole. :)

What you need:

• 1/2 teaspoon cooking oil
• 1 dried chili
• 1 large avocado or two small avocados
• Juice of 1/4 lemon
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• Salt to taste (I use 1/4-1/2 teaspoon)

Directions:

1. Add oil to a pan and heat for 30 seconds on medium heat. 
2. Carefully add the chili(es) to the hot oil. [I like to do multiple chiles at a time; however, this recipe only requires one.] 
3. Flip chiles when blackened and turn the heat off. See the picture.
4. Wash the avocado and separate the avocado(s) from the peel.*
5. Put the avocado, minced garlic, lemon juice and chili in a bowl.
6. Use a fork to mash the avocado, crush the blackened chili and ensure that all ingredients are evenly dispersed.
7. Add salt to taste and mix some more.
8. Serve and enjoy!

*I wash the avocado, slice it carefully in half and scoop out the avocado from each half using a spoon. Exercise caution with the seed--it can be a choking hazard.
