Making Guacamole

Guacamole is mainly comprised of avacados. There are countless variations and methods, but a traditional mexican guacamole is made in a molcajete (mortar and pestle). You can use a bowl and a big spoon.

Finely chop a serrano chile (more if you like it), a small onion, a roma tomato, and a generous handfull of cilantro. Put that in the bowl. Add two or three peeled avacados and mush it all together. Some prefer a slightly more lumpy consistency, some less. If you leave the pits in it will not turn brown. At this point season with salt and lime juice to taste.

simple guacamole

Mash up 2 cups of FRESH avocadoes. Mix in juice from one lemon. Sale and pepper to taste.

Simple/traditional

Here's a synthesis of the previous two -- both "authentic" tasting and very quick to make:

Mix together an avocado, half a chopped small red onion, a teaspoon each of chili powder of garlic powder (chopped fresh garlic is better, but this is the quick version!), salt/pepper, and a splash of lime juice (or lemon juice if you don't have lime). Tastes very different after being refrigerated for a day (less "bright" and more rich/intense -- both are good)


Authentic Guacamole

Mash mixture until avocados are slightly mashed. Chill. Serve with tortilla chips.
