Guacamole Authentic Recipes

Steps:

• Mash avocados in a bowl until creamy.
• Mix tomatoes, onion, cilantro, lemon juice, and jalapeno pepper into mashed avocado until well combined; season with salt and black pepper.

Steps:

• Slice avocados in half. Discard the seed. Scoop out of shell with a spoon. Place in bowl.
• Add juice of one fresh lime immediately to prevent browning. Use a fork and mash to desired consistency.
• Add chopped onions, tomato, and cilantro. Stir gently to mix ingredients.
• Add juice of second lime and then salt to taste. Stir just slightly, until incorporated.
• Add jalapeño to taste.
• Serve with your favorite tortilla chips for a dip, or use with your favorite Mexican dish.
• a side note: this is to make a chunky, yet creamy guacamole. Some people prefer to use a food processor with all the ingredients to make for a VERY creamy dip.

Steps:

• In a large bowl place the scooped avocado pulp and lime juice, toss to coat. Drain, and reserve the lime juice, after all of the avocados have been coated. Using a potato masher add the salt, cumin, and cayenne and mash. Then, fold in the onions, tomatoes, cilantro, and garlic. Add 1 tablespoon of the reserved lime juice. Let sit at room temperature for 1 hour and then serve.

Steps:

• In a medium mixing bowl, add the diced avocados and mash with a fork until smooth but still chunky. Add the cilantro, chile, lime juice and onion and mix to combine. Season with salt. Serve with tortilla chips or fresh veggies, etc.

Steps:

• Squeeze the lime juice into the mixing bowl, this will help acidulate the avocado and avoid any oxidation or browning.
