Cook Time: -
Total Time: 5 mins
Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 2 ripe avocados
- 1 lime, juiced
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt to taste
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro (optional)
Instructions
- Select ripe avocados that yield slightly when gently pressed. Cut avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a blender or food processor.
- Squeeze fresh lime juice directly over the avocado flesh to prevent browning and add bright citrus flavor. The juice will also help balance the creamy texture.
- Add garlic powder, onion powder, and a pinch of salt to the blender. These dry seasonings will enhance the overall taste profile of the guacamole.
- Pulse the blender or food processor 3-4 times to create a smooth base, ensuring ingredients are well combined but not over-processed.
- Dice fresh tomatoes into small, uniform pieces. If using cilantro, chop it finely to distribute flavor evenly.
- Gently fold the diced tomatoes and chopped cilantro into the blended avocado mixture using a spatula, maintaining some texture.
- Taste the guacamole and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more salt, lime juice, or spices to suit your preference.
- Transfer to a serving bowl, cover with plastic wrap directly touching the surface to prevent browning, and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Serve chilled with tortilla chips, as a topping for tacos, or as a fresh dip for your favorite Mexican-inspired dishes.
Tips
- • Choose perfectly ripe avocados: Look for ones that yield slightly to gentle pressure but aren't mushy. • Use fresh lime juice to prevent browning and add a bright, citrusy flavor. • Don't over-blend - pulse the blender to maintain some texture. • Cover the guacamole with plastic wrap directly touching the surface to prevent oxidation. • For extra freshness, add the tomatoes and cilantro just before serving. • Adjust seasonings to taste - everyone's palate is different! • Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture. • If not serving right away, keep the pit in the guacamole to help prevent browning.
