Chips and Guacamole Dip

Guacamole Dip
Cooking tip: Mashing avocados can be a bit of a pain depending on their ripeness. But I found a little trick in my utensil drawer that does the job just right. I use my pastry blender. It keeps the avocados chunky and mashes super quick. Give it a try. The dip is best made the day it's served.
Ingredients:

• 4 ripe avocados (they should be a little soft and outer shell darkish in color)
• 1 cup Roma tomatoes,. diced and drained on a paper towel 
• 2-3 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 TB. lime juice
• 1/4 cup red onions, diced
• 2 TB. prepared chunky salsa mix
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Dash of Tabasco sauce or Worcestershire sauce
• Sriracha

Directions:

• Use a medium sized bowl and scoop out avocado mixture. Use a fork to mash avocados and blend in rest of ingredients. Don't skip the sriracha as it gives the dip a good punch of flavor. 
• Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate several hours before serving.
