Ingredients

  • 3 avocados - peeled pitted, and mashed
  • 1 lime juiced
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper (optional)
  • 1/2 red onion diced
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
  • 2 tomatoes, diced
  • 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1 serrano chili pepper or jalapeño seeded and diced

Instructions

  • Peel and scoop out the avocado, discarding the seed, and place in a bowl or molcajete.
  • Mash the avocados thoroughly.
  • Add the chopped tomatoes.
  • Add the chopped onions, minced garlic, salt and pepper, and chopped cilantro.
  • Squeeze in some fresh lime juice.
  • Stir so all ingredients are evenly distributed through the dip. Serve immediately while fresh.

Notes

  • Use all fresh ingredients, including fresh avocados, tomatoes and cilantro.
  • Use freshly squeezed lime juice and not imitation lime juice.
  • Make sure that the avocados are ripe, but not overly ripe or your guacamole will be mushy. You can tell that the avocados are ripe by the color and firmness.
    • They should be a deep green color to purple, but not black. If they have turned black, then they are overripe. If they are brown under the stem, then they are past their prime.
    • Avocados should be firm, yet not hard, and should not have any soft spots.
  • Add in the chili peppers little by little and taste as you go to ensure that it won't be too spicy.
  • Guacamole is best served immediately after being made.
  • To prevent the guacamole from turning brown, squeeze a little more lime juice over the top.
