Ingredients
Method
- Cut the 3 medium avocados (15.0 oz / 425g) in half, remove the pits, and scoop the soft flesh into a large mixing bowl.
- Mash the avocado flesh using a sturdy fork until it reaches a smooth but slightly chunky consistency, perfect for an Easy Guacamole.
- Stir in the 2.0 tbsp (1. 0 fl oz / 30g) of lime juice, 0.5 cups (0.5 oz / 15g) of chopped cilantro, 0.5 cups (2.5 oz / 75g) of diced white onion, and 0.5 cups (3.5 oz / 100g) of diced tomato until evenly distributed.
- Season the dip with 0.1 tsp (0.02 oz / 0.5g) of sea salt and 0.1 tsp (0.01 oz / 0.2g) of black pepper, give it one final mix, and serve immediately with your favorite tortilla chips.
- Adjust the Acidity: Always taste your guacamole before serving! Depending on the size of your lemons or limes, you may need a little extra juice to make the flavors pop and balance the richness of the avocado.
Choose the Perfect Avocados: The secret to an amazing Easy Guacamole lies in the ripeness of the fruit. Look for Hass avocados that are dark green to black and yield to gentle, firm pressure in the palm of your hand. If they feel mushy, they are overripe; if they are hard, they need a few more days.
Control the Texture: For a truly authentic dip, avoid using a food processor. Mashing with a sturdy fork or a traditional molcajete ensures you keep those delicious, satisfying chunks of avocado intact rather than turning it into a puree.
Prevent Oxidation: Avocados brown quickly when exposed to air. If you aren't serving your dip immediately, press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the guacamole so no air is touching it, then store it in an airtight container in the fridge.
