Five minutes, five ingredients, and you’ve got nearly-instant, really yummy guacamole. Just open a bag of stone-ground tortilla chips, and have a party!

Makes: About 1 1/2 cups

• 1 medium ripe (mashable but not mushy) avocado, pitted and peeled
• 3/4 cup prepared salsa of your choice
• 1 to 2 tablespoons lime or lemon juice, to taste
• 1/4 to 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

Cut the avocado into chunks and place in a bowl. Mash well with a fork.

Add the remaining ingredients and stir together well. Serve at once with tortilla chips.
