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:
- Choose ripe avocados: The best guacamole starts with ripe avocados. Look for avocados that are dark green or black in color and slightly soft to the touch.
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients will give your guacamole the best flavor. Use fresh cilantro, lime juice, and onions.
- Don't over-mash the avocados: Guacamole should be chunky, not smooth. Mash the avocados just enough to combine them with the other ingredients.
- Season to taste: Add salt, pepper, and cumin to taste. You can also add other spices, such as chili powder or garlic powder, if you like.
- 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.
Conclusion:
Guacamole is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. It is perfect for parties, potlucks, or as a snack. With these tips, you can make the best guacamole every time. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy appetizer, give guacamole a try. You won't be disappointed!
