Ingredients for Guacamole
Avocados: For perfectly ripe avocados, choose fresh, firm ones without any bruises or tears on the skin. Even frozen avocados work well, once they’re thawed of course. Mix-Ins: I love to use fresh ingredients in my guacamole. Stir in fresh tomatoes, jalapenos, onions, and lime juice to enhance the flavor and texture. Tomatoes add juiciness and a touch of sweetness, jalapenos bring a spicy kick, onions offer a crunchy texture and sharp flavor, and fresh lime juice gives a tangy taste while keeping the avocado from browning. Seasonings: Just a little fresh cilantro, garlic, salt, and pepper are all that is needed to bring out the buttery avocado flavor.
Guacamole Variations:
Stir in a couple of spoonfuls of your favorite salsa or a can of Rotel. Add chopped black olives, corn kernels, serrano pepper, or green chiles. Take it to the next level with a dash or two of taco seasoning or a spicy adobo blend. Even a shake or two of Tabasco will spice it up!
How to Make Guacamole
Guacamole Tips and Tricks
Keep the pit from the avocado and store it in the bowl with the guacamole. To prevent leftover guacamole from turning brown (oxidizing), press a piece of plastic wrap over the surface so the wrap is touching the surface. Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
