Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: -
Total Time: 10 mins
Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 ripe avocados
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 tomato, diced
- 1 lime, juiced
- Salt to taste
- Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Select ripe avocados that yield slightly when gently pressed. Cut avocados in half lengthwise, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a medium mixing bowl.
- Using a fork or potato masher, mash the avocado flesh until it reaches a creamy but slightly chunky consistency. Avoid over-mashing to maintain some texture.
- Finely dice the small onion into small, uniform pieces. For a milder flavor, rinse the chopped onion briefly under cold water to reduce sharp intensity.
- Dice the tomato into small, uniform cubes, removing seeds if preferred. This helps prevent excess moisture in the guacamole.
- Add the finely chopped onion and diced tomato to the mashed avocado. Gently fold the ingredients together to distribute evenly.
- Squeeze fresh lime juice over the mixture. The acid helps prevent browning and adds bright flavor. Start with half a lime and adjust to taste.
- Sprinkle salt to taste, starting with a small amount and incrementally adding more. Mix thoroughly.
- If using cilantro, chop fresh leaves finely and fold into the guacamole for additional flavor complexity.
- Cover the guacamole surface directly with plastic wrap to prevent browning, and refrigerate until ready to serve. Best enjoyed within 2 hours of preparation.
- Before serving, give the guacamole a final gentle stir and taste, adjusting seasoning if needed. Serve with tortilla chips or as a side condiment.
Tips
- Choose the Right Avocados: For the best texture, select ripe avocados that yield slightly when gently pressed. This ensures a creamy base for your guacamole.
- Mash with Care: Use a fork or potato masher to achieve a creamy yet slightly chunky consistency. Avoid over-mashing to keep that desirable texture.
- Mild Onion Flavor: If you prefer a milder onion taste, rinse the chopped onion briefly under cold water. This simple step can tone down the sharpness.
- Tomato Tips: To prevent excess moisture in your guacamole, consider removing the seeds from the tomato before dicing. This keeps your dip perfectly creamy.
- Lime Juice Magic: Start with half a lime's juice and adjust to taste. The acidity not only brightens the flavor but also helps prevent browning.
- Season Gradually: When adding salt, start with a small amount and mix thoroughly. You can always add more if needed, but it’s hard to fix an overly salty guacamole!
- Cilantro Lovers Unite: If you enjoy cilantro, chop it finely and fold it into your guacamole for an extra layer of flavor. Just be mindful of your guests’ preferences, as not everyone loves it!
- Storage Secrets: To keep your guacamole fresh, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface to prevent browning. It’s best enjoyed within 2 hours of preparation.
- Final Touches: Before serving, give your guacamole a gentle stir and taste it one last time. Adjust the seasoning if necessary to ensure it’s perfect!
- Serving Suggestions: Pair your guacamole with crispy tortilla chips or use it as a vibrant side condiment for tacos and other dishes. Enjoy the fiesta of flavors!
