Steps:
- You need a food processor for this, a blender will get jammed up. Serve with your favorite chips.
Tips:
- Choose ripe avocados: The riper the avocados, the creamier and more flavorful your guacamole will be. Look for avocados that are deep green or black in color, and that yield to gentle pressure when squeezed.
- Use fresh lime juice: Fresh lime juice adds a bright, citrusy flavor to guacamole. Avoid using bottled lime juice, as it can be bitter and lack flavor.
- Don't over-mash the avocados: Guacamole should be chunky, not smooth. Mash the avocados just until they are combined and creamy, but still have some texture.
- Add your favorite seasonings: Guacamole is a versatile dish that can be customized to your taste. Feel free to add your favorite seasonings, such as salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, or chili powder.
- Serve guacamole immediately: Guacamole is best enjoyed fresh. If you need to make it ahead of time, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Before serving, bring it to room temperature for about 30 minutes.
