The BEST Guacamole
Ingredients
- 3 large ripe Haas avocados peeled and cubed
- Lime juice - just enough to coat the avocados to prevent them from browning
- 2 – 3 Roma tomatoes chopped
- 8 green onions sliced, or 1/2 small onion, chopped
- 1 jalapeno pepper seeded and chopped
- 1/2 cup minced fresh cilantro
- 1 Tbsp. freshly minced garlic or 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
- 2 tsp. lime juice
- pinch of Cayenne pepper if desired
- freshly-cracked salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Remove the pit and skin from the inside avocado meat. Coat with fresh lime juice to prevent from browning.
- Mash the avocados to your desired level of chunkiness; we like ours CHUNKY! Use a mortar and pestle or a fork and bowl.
- Gently fold in the remaining ingredients of chopped tomatoes, onions, jalapeno peppers, cilantro, and garlic.
- Add 2 teaspoons more lime juice.
- Add Cayenne pepper gradually (if preferred).
- Sprinkle on salt and pepper to taste.
- Taste and add any ingredient to your taste preferences.
- Serve immediately with tortilla chips, a bowl of salsa, sour cream, and melted Mexican cheese.
Notes
When cutting or seeding hot peppers, use rubber or plastic gloves to protect your hands, and avoid touching your face after working with fresh jalapeno peppers.
