The Best Guacamole Recipe
Description
The Best Guacamole Recipe combines ripe avocado with finely diced tomato, red onion, and fresh cilantro, creating a textured and refreshing base. Crushed garlic and chopped jalapeño add depth and a mild heat to the dip. Lime juice provides acidity and prevents browning during serving. Crispy diced bacon adds a contrasting smoky crunch to the otherwise creamy and fresh guacamole.
The mash-and-mix method preserves the avocado's creamy consistency while integrating the diced ingredients thoroughly. This guacamole works well served immediately to enjoy its bright flavors and textures. It complements Mexican dishes or can be used as a flavorful spread.
Adding bacon introduces a salty, smoky dimension, but you may omit it to suit dietary preferences or keep the recipe vegan. Variations such as adding a sprinkle of crumbled feta or mixing in a mild salsa can introduce new flavor notes.
Ingredients
- 2 avocado
- 1 tomato finely diced
- 0.25 red onion finely diced
- 6 tablespoon cilantro chopped, fresh
- 2 garlic crushed, clove
- 0.5 lime (juice only)
- 1 jalapeños chopped (more or less depending how spicy you like it)
- 1 pinch sea salt
- 1 pinch black pepper
- 2 rasher Bacon cooked and diced
Instructions
- Mash the avocado, preferably in a pestle and mortar, but a bowl and fork will work.
- Mix in the rest of the ingredients and serve immediately.
Notes
- Lime juice helps slow browning but best eaten fresh for peak flavor and color.
- To make this guacamole vegan, omit the bacon and increase salt slightly for seasoning.
- Try adding crumbled feta cheese on top before serving for a different flavor twist.
- Mixing in a couple tablespoons of salsa instead of jalapeño can provide a varied spicy profile.
