Yield Makes about 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 ripe avocados
1/2 clove garlic
1 jalapeno pepper, minced
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup loosely packed fresh cilantro, chopped

Steps:

  • Pit and peel avocados. Combine avocado flesh, garlic, jalapeno, lime juice, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Mash with a large metal spoon until combined but avocados are still chunky. Stir in cilantro, and serve.

Tips:

  • Use 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 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, cilantro, and onion.
  • Don't over-mash the avocados: Guacamole should be chunky, not smooth. Use a fork or potato masher to gently mash the avocados until they are just combined.
  • Add your favorite seasonings: Guacamole is a versatile dish that can be seasoned to your liking. Some popular seasonings include salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and chili powder.
  • Serve guacamole immediately: Guacamole is best served fresh. If you need to make it ahead of time, store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. When ready to serve, bring it to room temperature for 30 minutes.

Conclusion:

Guacamole is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, dip, or side dish. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your liking. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious guacamole that will be the star of your next party or gathering.
