Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 avocados peeled and seeded
  • ¼ red onion
  • ½ jalapeno remove seeds if you don't like it spicy
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1 roma tomato
  • 1 cup cilantro or 1 bunch
  • 3 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Cut the avocados in half and remove the seeds.  With a large spoon, scoop out the flesh and place it into the food processor with all of the ingredients.
  • Blend the guacamole until smooth and creamy.
  • Adjust seasoning if nessesary and serve with tortilla chips or tacos.

Notes

  • When picking avocados, make sure the stem is intact. If the stem is removed, the faster the avocado will turn. The perfect avocado should have a slight give to it.
  • Use the pulse button on your food processor to control the texture.
  • On my first attempt, I added too much red onion and lime juice resulting in a sour flavor. Instead of juicing a whole lime, I recommend adding 1 tablespoon of lime juice at a time.
  • To keep guacamole from turning brown place a piece of plastic wrap directly on top to prevent oxidation.
