Simple and Quick Guacamole
Simple, easy, and absolutely delicious! This guacamole is the only dip recipe you'll ever need.
Ingredients
- 2 medium avocados
- ¼ cup chopped cilantro
- ¼ cup chopped red onion
- 1 small lime juiced
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Slice the avocado's in half, remove the seeds and skin. Place in a molcajete with lime juice.
- Mash avocado until smooth.
- Add cilantro, red onion, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined.
Notes
- Use fresh everything! I promise this will make the dip so much better than anything you could buy.
- Make sure your avocado is ripe! You can tell by the dark brown exterior and when applying just a little pressure, the avocado should give slightly. Don't press too hard! If the avocado doesn't give with just a little pressure, then it's probably not ripe yet.
- To get the most juice out of your lime, place the lime under the palm of your hand and roll it onto the counter while applying pressure.
- You don't need a citrus juicer to extract the juice from the lime. You can actually use a fork if you twist it and squeeze the like slightly at the same time.
- That being said, you also don't need a molcajete. It makes things easier but you can use a potato masher or a fork.
- Don't panic if you can't get all the stems off the leaves! A lot of the cilantro flavor actually comes from the stems.
- Speaking of cilantro, 1 cup of cilantro leaves are equal to 1/4 cup chopped.
