Steps:
- Cut around each avocado lengthwise, then twist the two halves apart. Remove the pit and scoop the avocado flesh into a bowl. Mash the avocados (preferably with an old-fashioned potato masher) into a coarse purée. Season the purée with salt, about 1 teaspoon. Mince the clove of garlic. Sprinkle the minced garlic with a little salt, and mash with the side of your knife into coarse paste.
- Fold in the lime juice and chopped cilantro.
- Mince the green chile and add the desired amount to the bowl. Chop the tomato and add to the bowl. Mince the onion (you should have about a third of a cup) and rinse under cold running water in a small mesh strainer. Shake off the excess water, and mix into the avocado.
- If you aren't serving the guacamole immediately, cover with plastic wrap directly on the surface of the guacamole and refrigerate. For best results, make the guacamole within 2 hours of serving and serve in batches.
OUR FAVORITE MOST AMAZING GUACAMOLE
My husband and I tried a ridiculous amount of guacamole over our decades together, but no recipe ever hit home for us. After much experimenting, I finally created a recipe we can't get enough of. It even beats every restaurant we've ever been to. The two of us can eat this whole bowl in one sitting, and enjoy every bite. I'm so happy to share it with you. Now Taco Tuesday can be any night of the week! Serve it with tortilla chips, or use it to top tacos, quesadillas, fajitas, burritos, and more.

Tips:
- Choose ripe avocados: The riper the avocados, the creamier and more flavorful your guacamole will be. Look for avocados that are dark green or black in color, and that yield to gentle pressure when squeezed.
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients will give your guacamole the best flavor. If possible, use freshly squeezed lime juice, chopped cilantro, and diced tomatoes.
- Taste and adjust seasonings: Guacamole is a versatile dish, so feel free to adjust the seasonings to your liking. Add more lime juice for a tangy flavor, more salt for a savory flavor, or more chili powder for a spicy flavor.
- Serve immediately: Guacamole is best served immediately after it is made. However, it can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
Conclusion:
Guacamole is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a dip, a spread, or a topping. It is a great way to use up ripe avocados, and it is a perfect appetizer or snack for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make a delicious guacamole that everyone will love.
