Pico de Gallo and Guacamole
Both pico de gallo and guacamole start out with the same base, then avocado is just added to make guacamole!

• 1/2 large onion, finely diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced, and made into paste (see video)
• 1 large tomato, seeded and finely diced
• 1 jalapeno, finely diced (with or without ribs/seeds)
• juice of 1 lime
• 2 T fresh chopped cilantro (or parsley)
• salt, chili powder, and cumin to taste
• 1 large avocado (for the guacamole)

Combine all ingredients (except avocado) in a bowl and stir to combine. If desiring guacamole, put half of the pico into a bowl, squeeze in avocado (see video), and mash the avocado meat with a fork, leaving some chunks. If you want nothing but guacamole, use 2 avocados to this recipe.
