The last time I made guacamole a lot of comments and questions about how to cut an avocado came up. I promised a tutorial but then didn’t buy avocados for a while. Oooooops, sorry. So here it is now!
How to prepare an avocado:
Slice your avocado in half by running a sharp knife all the way around it lengthwise:
Twist the two halves apart:
Whack the pit with your sharp knife, then lightly twist to pop it out:
Use the tip of your knife to cut either slices or cubes into the flesh while it’s still in the skin:
Run a big spoon under the edges all the way around the flesh to separate it from the skin:
That’s it. Easy peasy.
I turned mine into my (self proclaimed) world famous guacamole. ;) Extra lime!
Which I then used as a topper for these delicious Turkey & Black Bean burgers.
Served on ciabatta bread with tomato slices… mixed green salad on the side.
Check out the height on this bad boy! I ended up eating it open-faced and ditched the top half of the “bun”. The guac with the burgers was a flavor explosion made in heaven. Seriously people…try these. I’m so excited for leftovers tomorrow!!!
Tonight we are off to see Star Trek at the theatre. I’m looking forward to either a kids pack or some frozen yogurt. *runs off to check online nutritionals for TCBY* :)

So your guac is famous, and Amy did a post today on her famous guac. Well, mine is famous too! I think we should do a "guac off" at the next blogger get together on Thanksgiving!
Have fun at Star Trek! We're going to see Transformers!

I wish I would have seen a post like this the first time I had an avocado. It got so messy! Definitely learned the hard way ;) I will be trying your famous guac out!! :D
Um, that friggin burger looks DE----LISH!!!!!!!
Mmmm....love the onion and jalapeno in your guac! And the edamame from Amy's...I have a new experiment for the weekend :) ANd, a good idea to try it on the sandwich. YUM!
Let me just say from experience...do NOT hold the avocado while you whack it with a knife.
Never mind how I learned that lesson.
i've never eaten an avacado.
yes, i lead a sheltered life.
looks deilicious! I am starving as i type! I am definitely going to try making some guac. this summer! (maybe i will luck out and the kids wont like it and it can be my treat! lol)
Hope the movie was good!
Mmmmm...we just made guacamole too - just lime, salt a bit of garlic powder and avocado - soooo good. I have ciabatta bread in my fridge...AND blackbean burgers in the freezer - I think I'm going to steal your idea for lunch (but, veggie-style) :)
Looks yummy! Is there any special reason you have the pit/seed thing in the guac? Any tips to keep it all from turning brown?
