Fresh Guacamole
My guacamole recipe is simple and delicious! Ripe creamy avocados are mixed with lime juice, purple onion, cilantro, and spices into a chunky style guacamole that sticks to the chips. Don't let sour cream come near this baby!
Ingredients
- 3 ripe avocados
- 1/2 cup purple onion finely diced
- 1/8-1/4 cup of fresh cilantro chopped
- juice of 1/2 a lime reserve the other half for adjusting the acidity after mixing
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 pinch of kosher salt
Instructions
- Cut the avocados around the circumference and discard the seeds.
- Scoop out the flesh and place into a large mixing bowl.
- Add the juice of 1/2 a lime and with a fork or potato masher, mash the avocado until mixed. I like my guacamole chunky, but you can mix it until smooth.
- Add the diced onion, cilantro, salt, and spices. Mix well.
- Adjust the salt and lime juice to taste.
Notes
Tip for taking out an avocado seed- place the cut avocado in a thick dish towel. Grab firmly and take a sharp knife and "hit" the seed very very carefully! Don't cut your hand. Slowly twist the knife in the seed and lift. Voila!
