Jalapeno and Tomato Guacamole

Modified recipe. Original recipe by Chatelaine.

My husband said this was the best guacamole I've ever made. The cilantro and lime juice give it the fresh taste, while the cayenne pepper gives it that little bit of heat.  

What you'll need
4 Ripe avocados
Juice of 1/2 a lime
1 Clove garlic, minced
1 to 2 pinches Cayenne pepper
Salt to taste
1 large Jalapeno, seeded and finely chopped
1/4 cup Fresh cilantro, finely chopped
15 to 20 Grape tomatoes, quartered

How to
1.  Cut avocados in half and remove pits. Scoop flesh into a bowl. Mash until fairy smooth with just a few chunks remaining.

2.  Stir in the lime juice and garlic. Add the cayenne pepper and salt to taste.

3.  Add the jalapeno, cilantro and half the tomatoes.  Stir.

4.  Spoon into a serving bowl and top with remaining tomatoes. Serve with tortilla chips.
