How to make homemade guacamole
Ingredients:
- 2 large avocados
- ½ onion, finely chopped
- 1 tomato, pulp removed and diced
- Juice of ½ lemon
- Several cilantro leaves, finely chopped
- Salt to taste
- 1 Mexican chili or spicy chili pepper (optional), preferably jalapeño or serrano, finely chopped
Instructions:
- Preparation of ingredients: Finely chop the onion, tomato (without pulp), and cilantro. If you choose to use chili or chili pepper, chop it in the same manner.
- Preparation of avocado: Slice the avocados in half and remove the seed. Using a spoon, scoop out the pulp and place it in a medium-sized bowl.
- Mix: Mash the avocado with a fork until you reach the desired consistency, whether it’s a smooth puree or leaving some larger chunks. Add the tomato, onion, cilantro, and chili (if you’re including it). Mix well.
- Season: Add a pinch of salt and the juice of half a lemon. Stir until all ingredients are well combined.
Recommendations:
Guacamole is incredibly versatile. Beyond the traditional tacos, tostadas, and nachos, consider using it as a side for meats, chicken, or even in salads. The key is to experiment and get creative in the kitchen.
