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: This ensures a creamy and flavorful guacamole. Look for avocados that are dark green or black and slightly soft to the touch.
  • Choose the right type of avocado: There are two main types of avocados: Hass avocados and Fuerte avocados. Hass avocados are more common and have a richer flavor, while Fuerte avocados are milder in taste and have a smoother texture.
  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the guacamole will taste. Use ripe tomatoes, onions, cilantro, and lime juice.
  • 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.
  • Season to taste: Add salt, pepper, and lime juice to taste. You can also add other spices, such as cumin, chili powder, or garlic powder.
  • Serve guacamole immediately: Guacamole is best when served fresh. If you need to make it ahead of time, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate it for up to 2 days.

Conclusion:

Guacamole is a delicious and versatile dip that can be enjoyed in many ways. It is perfect for parties, picnics, and potlucks. It can also be used as a sandwich spread, a taco filling, or a topping for nachos. With so many variations to choose from, there is sure to be a guacamole recipe that everyone will enjoy. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy appetizer or snack, give guacamole a try. You won't be disappointed!
