Authentic Guacamole Recipe
This authentic guacamole recipe is made with fresh, simple ingredients, and it's the perfect dip or condiment for any Mexican occasion!
Servings: 2 cups
Ingredients
- 2 large Hass avocados
- 1 roma tomato diced
- 3 tbsp red or white onion chopped
- 2 tbsp cilantro chopped
- 1 jalapeno chopped
- 1 lime
- ¼ tsp salt
Instructions
- Lightly crush the chopped onions, cilantro, jalapeno, salt, & juice from 1 lime. If you do not have a molcajete (mortar and pestle), you can use a mixing bowl and a fork.
- Add roughly chopped avocado.
- Mash to your desired consistency. You can make it smooth if you prefer, but authentic guacamole has a chunky texture.
- Gently fold in chopped tomato. Taste & adjust for salt and lime, then serve and enjoy :)
Notes
- Choosing between red and white onion: Use red onion if you prefer a milder flavor that is slightly sweet. Use white onion for a sharper bite. I prefer red, but white is more traditional
- If making for a party or dinner guests: Consider putting the cilantro on the side, or making one bowl with cilantro and one without. Some people have a genetic aversion to cilantro, and your guests will appreciate your thoughtfulness!
- Storage: Guacamole is best served fresh, but it can keep in the fridge for no more than 2 days if stored properly!
