Box Grater

Ingredients

4 Medium Avocados
1 Medium Vine or Roma Tomato
½ Jalapeno seeded
½ Medium Yellow Onion
½ Bunch Cilantro minced
Juice of ½ Lime
½ Teaspoon Salt

Instructions

Use a fork to mash the avocados in a medium bowl. Mash to your desired texture - I like to leave some chunks.
On the large side of a box grater, grate the ½ onion and tomato. I typically do not include the tomato skin and instead use it to help me grate the entire inside of the tomato. Then switch to the smaller side and grate the ½ jalapeño.
Add the grated onion and tomato, lime juice, cilantro, and salt to the bowl with the avocados and mix well.
For best flavor, cover and let sit 30 minutes (though in full honesty I almost always skip this step!). Serve with homemade tortilla chips, in layer dip, on burrito bowls, or with your favorite veggies. Store covered tightly in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Notes

Storage: this guac will last 2-3 days in the fridge. I highly recommend storing with plastic wrap placed directly on the top of the guac, and then the container's lid on top. I don't find lime juice to be helpful in deterring browning, so I never use it
