Guacamole

Serve guacamole with crispy tortilla chips, or use as a sauce or side dish.

Makes about 2 cups

Insert metal blade. Place tomato pieces in work bowl; pulse to chop, 10 to 15 times; remove and
reserve. With machine running, drop garlic through feed tube and process until minced, about 10
seconds. Scrape work bowl. Add jalapeño and onion to work bowl, pulse to chop, 5 times. Add half
the avocado pieces, cilantro leaves, lime juice, chili powder, cumin and salt. Pulse 5 times to chop
avocado, then process until smooth, about 45 seconds. Add remaining avocado. Pulse until mix-
ture is blended, and reaches desired texture for a chunky guacamole, or process until smooth and
creamy, about 1-1/2 minutes. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow
flavors to blend. Serve with tortilla corn chips.
