Ingredients & Suggestions
- Avocados - Use ripe avocados for the best results.
- Onions - Red, white, or yellow onions can be used.
- Jalapeño - Optional but recommended. It is best to remove the pepper's seeds, veins, and pith to make it less spicy.
- Tomatoes
- Cilantro
- Lime Juice - Freshly squeezed lime juice is best. If you do not have any limes, you can use lemons instead.
- Seasonings - Salt, pepper, cumin, garlic powder, and paprika.
How To Make Guacamole
STEP 1
Peel the avocados and discard the pits, then place them in a medium-sized bowl. Mash the avocados with a fork until they reach a slightly creamy consistency. Avoid using a blender, as you don't want the guacamole to be too runny.
It's best to leave some small chunks, which will blend in as you mix in the other ingredients.
STEP 2
Next, dice the vegetables and combine them in the bowl with the mashed avocados. Stir in the spices and lime juice until well mixed. Serve immediately. Enjoy!
Tip For Serving
Guacamole is best served on the same day it is made. Due to oxidation, the avocado may begin to brown, which is not very appetizing.
When preparing guacamole for a party, it's best to make it right before the event begins. You can prepare ahead by dicing all the vegetables but hold off on mashing the avocados until just before serving.
