Everybody in the world has their own guacamole recipe and I think guacamole is one dip that is always a hit at any party and it is super easy to make. Some people like creamy guac, others more on chunky style, and I've even seen some with crumbled bacon and goat cheese! But below is, what I think, the best and easiest guac. This is specially a hit with the little ones who love to dip tortilla chips in it. Also, if you want your guacamole more on the spicy side, you can add a finely minced, seeded Serrano pepper.
One final note: add one of the avocado pits to your finished guacamole before you refrigerate. I don't know why we do this, but according to my abuelita, the pit keeps the avocados from turning brown.
INGREDIENTS (Makes about 2 cups)
- 4 Haas avocados
- 1 lime, juiced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup diced red onion
- 3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
- 2 Roma (plum) tomatoes, seeded and diced
- 1 garlic clove, finely minced
DIRECTIONS
Peel the avocados and remove pits. Add avocados to a medium bowl. Mash together the avocados, lime juice, and salt. Mix in onion, cilantro, tomatoes, and garlic. Refrigerate at least 1 hour for best flavor then serve!
