Easy Guacamole Recipe
Description
The guacamole is made by mashing ripe avocados with lime juice to preserve color and add acidity. Minced garlic and jalapeño pepper provide aromatic heat, balanced by mild green onion and fresh cilantro for herbal notes. Diced plum tomato is stirred in last to add bursts of juiciness and color contrast. Salt and black pepper are adjusted to personal taste.
Its fresh, creamy texture with mild spiciness makes it a versatile accompaniment for chips, tacos, or sandwiches. The lime juice also helps slow browning when stored.
To maintain best freshness, serve immediately or cover the surface tightly with plastic wrap to minimize air contact and refrigerate until serving.
Ingredients
- 3 large avocado ripe Haas variety
- 1 lime juiced
- 2-3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 jalapeno pepper minced
- 1/4 cup green onion chopped
- 1/4 cup cilantro chopped
- 1 tomato diced, plum
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cut the avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh out with a spoon. Place the avocado flesh in a medium bowl and pour the lime juice over the top. Use a spoon and fork to mash the avocado until mostly smooth.
- Smell your jalapeño to test the heat... You can usually tell if you got a spicy one. Stir in the garlic, jalapeño (half or all), green onions and cilantro. Salt and pepper to taste. Stir in the diced tomato at the very end.
- Serve immediately, or press plastic wrap down over the surface of the guacamole, removing all air bubbles, and refrigerate until ready to serve.
