Made with fresh avocados, tangy lime juice, and flavorful tomatoes, onions, and chili peppers, guacamole is a crowd-pleaser that’s perfect for any occasion. Whether you're hosting a party or just craving a delicious snack, this guacamole recipe is sure to satisfy. Let's get started!
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Avocados: Cut the avocados in half. Remove the pits and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl.
- Lime Juice: Measure out 1/3 cup of lime juice and set it aside.
- Tomatoes: Dice the tomatoes, ensuring to remove the seeds if you prefer a less watery guacamole.
- Onion: Finely chop the onion.
- Chili Peppers: Remove the seeds (optional for less heat) and finely chop the chili peppers.
- Coriander Leaves: Finely chop the coriander leaves.
- Using a fork or a potato masher, mash the avocado flesh until it reaches your desired consistency. Some prefer chunky guacamole, while others prefer it smoother.
- Add the diced tomatoes, chopped onion, and chopped chili peppers to the mashed avocados.
- Pour in the lime juice and sprinkle in the chopped coriander leaves. Mix everything thoroughly to combine the flavors.
- Gently fold in the sour cream until evenly distributed. This will make the guacamole creamier.
- Taste your guacamole and adjust the seasoning as needed. You can add salt to taste or more lime juice if you prefer a tangier flavor.
- Transfer the guacamole to a serving bowl and garnish with extra coriander leaves if desired. Serve immediately with tortilla chips, on toast, or as a side to your favorite Mexican dishes.
Tips:
- Choose ripe avocados: Make sure your avocados are ripe but not overripe. They should give slightly to gentle pressure.
- Prevent browning: Mix the guacamole right before serving or store it with a thin layer of lime juice or plastic wrap pressed directly onto the surface to minimize browning.
- Adjust spice level: If you prefer a milder guacamole, remove the seeds and membranes from the chili peppers or reduce the amount used.
- Add some texture: For a chunkier guacamole, roughly mash the avocados with a fork, leaving some larger pieces intact.
- Experiment with additions: For extra flavor, try adding minced garlic, diced red bell peppers, or a splash of hot sauce to your guacamole.
Congratulations! You've made a delicious bowl of guacamole that's sure to be a hit. Serve it with tortilla chips, use it as a topping for tacos or burritos, or enjoy it as a healthy snack with fresh vegetables. Remember, the key to great guacamole is using fresh, high-quality ingredients and adjusting the flavors to your taste. Enjoy your homemade guacamole!
