Best Authentic Guacamole Recipe
This recipe is a spicy guacamole. Several ingredients may be omitted or exchanged to your taste.
Equipment
- bowl
- avacado slicer/scooper (or spoon)
- Fork
- knife
Ingredients
- 2 avocados firm, but not hard
- 1 tomato
- 1/2 lime
- 1 slice red onion chopped fine
- 1 jalapeno Pepper or Ghost pepper, if you're brave!
- cilantro a few leaves to taste
- 1 clove garlic chopped very fine
- salt & pepper to taste
- 1 bag organic tortilla chips blue are healthiest
Instructions
- Slice the avocados and scoop the meat into a medium size bowl.
- Squeeze 1/2 a lime onto the avocado.
- Cut into pieces: scallion or red onion, garlic, tomato (take out the seeds).
- Dice the jalapeño very fine (taking out the seeds will make it milder).
- Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Chop the cilantro fine.
- Smash the avocado with a fork and gently fold in the other ingredients. I like my guacamole chunky.
- The key is to taste along the way.
- Taste after adding 1/2 the jalapeño, salt and 1/2 a lime. Add more of each to taste.
- Fold in a bit of cilantro and taste.
- When you're happy with the flavors, transfer to a serving bowl.
Notes
NOTE* Place an avocado pit on top of the guacamole to slow any discoloration. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for 10 - 20 minutes - serve with chips.
If your taste buds or dietary requirements dictate, you can replace or delete ingredients and it will still be delicious.
-Scallions or red onion
-Lime or lemon
-Cilantro can be omitted
-Jalapeño can be omitted or exchanged for a hotter or milder pepper
You can also make several different dishes with this recipe. Put this guacamole on toast or quesadilla, in a warm pita pocket with slices of cheddar cheese, on homemade nachos, or a juicy burger, and many more.
Enjoy!
