Description

Our “House” guacamole recipe!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large ripe avocados (see notes)
  • 2 limes
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/4 to 1/3 cup red or white onion (not yellow), finely diced
  • 1 small jalapeno, finely diced
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro for garnish 
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, more to taste

Instructions

  • Scoop the flesh of your avocados into a serving bowl. Use a fork to mash the avocado to desired texture – try and leave some nice chunks.
  • Add the juice of one lime plus one-half of the second lime (sometimes I add the zest too).
  • Add the garlic, onion, pepper, cilantro, and salt.
  • Stir to combine. Add more salt or lime juice if desired.

Notes

  • I prefer largeish Hass avocados when making guacamole but you can easily use smaller ones too – you just need a few more. My husband keeps bringing home bags of pretty little ones. I substitute about 5-6 little avocados for 3 big ones. 
  • You can omit the garlic if you like.
