Description

Mexican guacamole showcases fresh ingredients blended to perfection. Creamy avocados mingle with zesty lime, cilantro, and spices, creating a crowd-pleasing dip you’ll crave at every gathering.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 avocados (ripe)
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) lime juice
  • 1 small red onion (finely diced)
  • 2 small Roma tomatoes (finely diced)
  • ¼ cup fresh cilantro (chopped)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • ½ teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cumin (optional)
  • 12 jalapeños (finely chopped, seeded for less heat)

Instructions

  1. Preparation: Slice ripe avocados in half, remove pits, and transfer creamy flesh into a generous mixing bowl.
  2. Texture Creation: Mash avocados with a fork, maintaining a rustic blend of smooth and chunky consistencies to preserve delightful textural elements.
  3. Flavor Fusion: Integrate finely minced red onion, jalapenos, diced Roma tomatoes, fresh cilantro, crushed garlic, lime juice, cumin, and salt into the avocado base, thoroughly mixing to ensure uniform flavor distribution.
  4. Taste Refinement: Conduct a flavor assessment, adjusting seasoning by incorporating additional lime juice for brightness, salt for depth, or extra jalapenos to elevate the heat profile.
  5. Serving Presentation: Immediately transfer the vibrant guacamole to a serving dish, accompanying with crisp tortilla chips or utilizing as a versatile topping for tacos, gourmet burgers, and crisp salads.

Notes

  • Prevent Browning: Squeeze extra lime juice over the guacamole’s surface to block oxidation and maintain a fresh, bright green color.
  • Texture Control: Mash avocados with a fork for a rustic feel, avoiding over-mixing to preserve chunky elements that enhance mouthfeel and visual appeal.
  • Customize Heat Level: Adjust jalapeno quantity based on personal spice tolerance, removing seeds for milder flavor or adding more for intense kick.
  • Serve Fresh: Consume guacamole immediately after preparation to enjoy peak flavor and optimal creamy consistency, as it quickly loses texture and brightness when stored.
