Guacamole
Ingredients
- 4 avocadoes
- 1/2 a roma tomato
- 1/4 red onion (Note 1)
- 1tsp cumin
- 1 1/2tbsp lime juice (Note 2)
- 1tbsp cilantro (Optional, Note 3)
Directions
- Dice your tomato and onion into small cubes.
- In a small bowl, add ice and cold water; add onions into the bowl and let sit 5 min (Note 4)
- Cut your avocadoes and place into a medium mixing bowl.
- Rough mash your avocado (Note 5); add your lime juice, cumin, and a generous pinch of salt, mix.
- Drain and pat onion dry with paper towel, into the bowl with avocado - add tomato and onion.
- Taste, adjust to your liking (Note 6).
Notes
- If you have a really big onion, you can use less; you need about a 1/4 cup. For this recipe, you’ll also need some ice, cold water and a small bowl - see note 4.
- Fresh squeezed is best, if using prepackaged, start with 1tbsp and adjust.
- Liam has that cilantro soap gene, but I very much reccomend the cilantro.
- This technique takes the ‘bite’ aka the spice, out of the onions, if you like a pungent onion feel free to skip this step.
- If you overmash here, you’ll end up with a super smooth guac - I like some chunks, this recipe is all about personal preference.
- Like mentioned above - personal preference, you can add or substract any of the ingredients listed, this is a very forgiving recipe.
