JP’s Guiltless Guacamole

• 2 avocados
• Black Pepper to taste
• 2 tsp olive oil
• 2/3 serving organic red beans (cooked)
• 1 tsp garlic
• 1/4 cup chopped yellow onion
• 1/4 cup chopped red onion
• 1 tsp shriracha hot sauce
• 1 tsp cilantro (fresh or dried)
• 1-2 tomatoes of choice chopped/minced (mix and match if you’d like.  I use Roma, or beefsteak, or jersey or combo
• Squeeze of lime

Prep:

1. Cook your red beans as necessary – Strain and place in a large bowl
2. Using a potato masher, mash your red beans to a desired “paste”
3. Add your 2 avocados and again mash avocados and beans together to desired “thickness”
4. Add your garlic, Olive Oil, Hot Sauce, Onions – Stir
5. Add tomatoes – Stir
6. Add your pepper to taste, as well as your cilantro, squeeze your lime slice
7. Stir and Serve!

While the above seems somewhat “traditional” all ingredients are “whole” and the addition of beans gives this guacamole a nice boost in protein, as well as a further boost in “good” carbs.  High in “good” mono and polyunsaturated fats as well.  When accompanied with a non-flour “chip” or side or when used as a spread over some mixed greens, this is a totally guiltless snack or appetizer.

Hope you enjoy!
