Guacamole is a dip, spread, or salad made from avocado that originated in Mexico. It has become a part of worldwide and American cuisine as a dip, condiment, and salad element, in addition to its use in modern Mexican cuisine.
If you were wondering what guacamole tastes like, I guess you should stop wondering. If you have tasted avocado, you have already tasted guacamole.Â
Guacamole is healthy and you can add it to your diet and get all the benefits that avocado brings for example smooth skin.Â
You can eat guacamole with any snack like toast or chips.Â
Let’s make this basic guacamole recipe.
Ingredients for the simple guacamole recipe
- 1 chopped small onion, chopped long chili,
- ½ cup chopped cilantro
- 2¼ teaspoons salt
- 4 ripe avocados
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
Directions for the simple guacamole recipe
Firstly, place the onion, chili, half of the cilantro leaves, and salt in a mortar and pestle. Then pound them into a fine paste. Alternatively, you can combine the onion, chili, half of the cilantro, salt, and half of the lime juice in a food processor or blender and process until you get somewhat smooth guacamole. Don’t make it too smooth.
Split each avocado in half, discard pits, and spoon out the flesh into a medium bowl. Roughly mash with a stiff whisk. Add onion-chile purée, remaining cilantro leaves, and half of the lime juice (if you are using the mortar and pestle method). Fold to combine. Sprinkle on some salt according to your liking and splash some lime juice too. Serve immediately with warm tortilla chips.
Quick Tips
You can use a blender or food processor here. However, I prefer guacamole which is not very smooth so I like to do it manually instead of using these machines. Even if you use a machine, make sure the guacamole is not very smooth.Â
Lastly, you can always make this guacamole in advance. However, when it comes to guacamole and all avocado meals, it’s better to eat it fresh. But if you insist on making it in advance, put it in a bowl and cover it very well with plastic wrap so that air can’t enter.Â
Put it in your fridge for only 2 days. If you want to keep it longer than 2 days, you might have to put it in the freezer. But we are not responsible for any degradation in the quality and taste of your guacamole.Â
