Quick and Easy Guacamole
This quick and easy guacamole recipe takes only a few minutes to make. It doesn't use a ton of ingredients so it allows the avocado to shine.
Equipment
- mortar and pestle Optional
Ingredients
- 3 Ripe avocados
- 1 Juicy lime you may need 2 if they don't give off a lot of juice
- 1 Garlic clove pressed through a garlic press or grated on a Microplane
- Red onion, minced finely optional
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Run a knife around the avocado (from top to bottom) and then twist the two halves until the pit is exposed. Pull out and discard the pit. Using a spoon, remove the flesh and place it into a medium-sized bowl.
- Cut the lime in half and squeeze both halves into the bowl with the avocado. Add the garlic and salt. Using a fork gently mash the avocado halves to your desired consistency and then stir all of the ingredients together.
- Taste for seasoning and then enjoy with your favorite tortilla chips.
Notes
Guacamole is best when it is eaten right away. If you have leftovers, make sure that you cover them with plastic wrap. Press it directly against the guacamole. This prevents air from getting to it and which will cause it to oxidize and go brown.
