quick soak dried beans:
- Use a colander to rinse the beans. Place the beans in a colander
and run cool water over the top of the beans. Discard any dirt or stones. - Add the beans to a saucepan. Cover the beans completely with
water. They will soak up a lot of the water so make sure to get about 2 inches
of water over the top of the beans. - Bring the beans to a boil over high heat. Let the beans boil for
one minute and then remove the pot from the heat. - Cover the beans with a lid and let them soak in the hot water for
one hour. - Use a colander to drain the water off of the beans. Now they are
ready to be used in your recipe!
After you’ve cooked your dried beans you’ll puree them or mash them. I used a fork and then a potato masher. I think for the sake of the kids’ preference next time I will throw the beans in the blender and puree them. But it’s really up to you.
I used 2 large Hass Avocados. I always buy my avocados at Costco because they just seem to be better quality and have less brown spots…that’s just my two cents.
After you’ve gotten everything mashed up you’ll add in your favorite guacamole ingredients. Personally I love to add in a couple of diced Roma tomatoes, a little jalapeno, kosher salt, garlic, cilantro and lime juice. The only bad part about guacamole is that it gets brown too quickly and there’s no real good way to stop this. The good part is that this dip won’t last long enough to get brown anyway!

- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 3 Tbsp finely diced red onion
