Steps:
- 1. In a medium sized mixing bowl: Cut the avocados into small chunks (1/2 cubes). Add the garlic - you can smash and chop it, put it through a garlic press, or (as I prefer) use a zester or very small grater and grate it right into the bowl. Add the zest of the lime. Add the juice of the lime. Add 1/2 cup of fresh chopped salsa (mild, medium or hot according to your preference), mostly drained (you want the veggies, not the juice). Add one teaspoon of hot sauce (I like Tabasco or Franks). Stir it all together until you have a nice chunky guacamole.
- 2. This recipe is quick and easy to make because I use the fresh chopped salsa (not the bottled stuff - the fresh salsa from the deli/cheese aisle). It has the tomatoes, onions, peppers and cilantro that I would otherwise have to prep individually. It's a great time saver.
- 3. If you want a little more heat, lime or garlic, add to desired taste. (I tend to use a little more of each - I start with the basics above, and then add to taste.)
Tips:
- For the best guacamole, use ripe avocados. Ripe avocados should be firm to the touch, but slightly yield to pressure when squeezed. They should also be dark green or black in color.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the avocados. This will help to prevent the avocados from becoming bruised.
- Mash the avocados with a fork or a potato masher. Do not use a blender or a food processor, as this will make the guacamole too smooth.
- Add your favorite seasonings to the guacamole. Common seasonings include salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and cumin.
- Serve the guacamole immediately, or store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
Conclusion:
Guacamole is a delicious and versatile dip that can be enjoyed on its own or with a variety of other foods. It is a great appetizer, snack, or side dish. With its simple ingredients and easy preparation, guacamole is a dish that everyone can enjoy. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy recipe, give guacamole a try.
