Tips:
- Choose ripe avocados: The best avocados for guacamole are ripe but not overly soft. They should yield to gentle pressure when squeezed.
- Use a food processor: A food processor makes quick work of blending the avocado and other ingredients until smooth.
- Add flavor enhancers: Garlic, onion, lime juice, and cilantro are all classic guacamole flavor enhancers. You can also add other ingredients like tomatoes, corn, or black beans to taste.
- Adjust the spice level: If you like your guacamole spicy, add a jalapeño or serrano pepper. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
- Serve immediately: Guacamole is best served fresh. If you need to make it ahead of time, store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
