how to make guacamole

Like I said before, it is SO easy. Gather your ingredients first. You can go on and chop the red onion and cilantro.

Now, in a molcajete, place your avocado and lime juice. Smash until smooth and there aren't any large lumps. Add the chopped cilantro and red onions. Mix in with a spoon and serve!

You can transfer this to a new bowl, or keep it in the molcajete.

how to store guacamole

This is something I know a lot about. I also tend to make a little too much and always need to store it.

Transfer the dip into an airtight container and place in the fridge. I personally wouldn't eat it after a day or two. So, just keep a check on it!

expert tips:

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 ¼ cup chopped.
