Ingredients

  • 4 large avocados ripe, peeled, pitted
  • 1 Tbsp. lime juice fresh
  • ½ tsp. cumin
  • ¼ tsp. paprika
  • ¼ tsp. garlic powder
  • ½-¾ tsp. salt to taste
  • ¼ tsp. black pepper to taste
  • ¼ cup sweet onion finely diced
  • ½ cup tomatoes finely diced
  • ¼ cup cilantro finely chopped

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Place peeled, pitted, and quartered avocados and lime juice in a large bowl.
  2. Begin mashing avocados with a large fork or potato masher.*
  3. Add cumin, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
  4. Add tomatoes, onions, and cilantro.  Mix ingredients until just combined and guacamole is to your desired creaminess.
  5. Serve guacamole immediately with tortilla chips or with your favorite Mexican dish.  Enjoy!

Notes

  • To Prep-Ahead: Chop tomatoes, onions, and cilantro up to 1-2 days ahead of time.
  • To Store: Guacamole is best served immediately after making, but it can also be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24-48 hours. Be sure to completely cover with plastic wrap so no dip is exposed to air. This will keep it from turning brown.
  • To Freeze: I would not recommend freezing.  The taste, texture, and consistency will be largely affected.  You are better off just making it from scratch!
