The Best Guacamole Ever
Description
This guacamole recipe centers on ripe avocados mashed to a textured smoothness rather than a puree, preserving some chunkiness. The addition of finely diced tomato, jalapeños, and cilantro introduces freshness and mild spice, while lime juice brings acidity and prevents browning. Salt is added for seasoning to taste. The method involves combining and seasoning ingredients to achieve a balanced flavor and fresh appearance.
The guacamole suits serving as a dip with tortilla chips, a topping for Mexican dishes, or a side for grilled meats. To maintain color and freshness if storing, the avocado pit can be left in the mixture, slowing oxidation. Adjusting lime juice and jalapeño quantity lets the cook tailor acidity and heat levels.
Ingredients
- 4 avocado medium
- 1 tomato large
- 2 lime small
- 1/4 cup jalapeños fresh or canned
- 1/4 cup cilantro chopped
- salt to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the ingredients for the recipe. Use fresh or canned jalapeños.
- Optionally, add in some spicy Mexican salsa or sauce to bring out an extra rich flavor.
- Mash avocados into an evenly smooth texture, it doesn't have to be perfectly creamy.
- Dice tomato, jalapeños and cilantro into small pieces. Add lime juice one at a time. If you feel that 1 lime is enough, you may skip out on the second lime or add it any time later.
- Season with salt, mix and serve. To save the guacamole for later, leave the avocado nut inside. It'll keep the guacamole from browning.
