Guacamole Ingredients

  • 4 medium avocados
  • 1 tablespoon lemon or lime juice
  • 34 tablespoons fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Avocados: Scoop the flesh of 4 medium avocados into a small bowl, ensuring you remove all the green creamy part inside the skin.
  2. Mash the Avocados: Using a muddler, potato masher, or fork, mash the avocado until creamy. You can leave some chunks if you prefer a bit of texture.
  3. Add Flavorings: Pour in 1 tablespoon of lemon or lime juice along with 3-4 tablespoons of freshly chopped cilantro. Season with salt and pepper according to your taste.
  4. Mix Thoroughly: Stir all the ingredients together until well combined to form a smooth and flavorful guacamole.
  5. Serve: Serve your guacamole chilled with nacho or tortilla chips, tacos, burritos, or as a fresh side dip to complement your meal.

Notes

  • Use ripe avocados that yield slightly to gentle pressure for the best texture and flavor.
  • Adjust lime or lemon juice to your taste; it not only adds flavor but helps prevent the avocado from browning.
  • Fresh cilantro is essential for authentic flavor; avoid dried herbs.
  • Serve immediately or cover tightly with plastic wrap touching the surface of the guacamole to reduce browning.
  • Feel free to add diced onions, tomatoes, or jalapeños for additional texture and heat.
