Guacamole From Scratch

Author Tracy

Ingredients

  • 3 ripe Haas avocados
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • ½ teaspoon cumin
  • ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • ½ cup diced tomatoes
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro finely chopped

Instructions

  • Slice the avocados in half and scoop out the middle, setting the pits to the side (Do not discard them). Add the lime juice and mash the avocados up a bit, mixing in the lime juice in as you do so. Gradually add the cumin, cayenne, and salt as you continue to mix
  • Once it has reached nearly the desired texture you like, delicately mix in the tomatoes, (which should be thoroughly drained of excess moisture), garlic, cilantro, onion, and Chile pepper.
  • Scoop guacamole into the serving container you place to use and pack it down. Add the pits back (which helps to keep the vibrant green color) and place saran-wrap directly on top of the packed guacamole to lock out as much air as you can.
  • Refrigerate for approximately 30 minutes. This not only allows the guacamole to be served chilled but allows the flavors to blend so that it is ultra-flavorful!
  • Remove from the fridge and serve with tortilla chips!
