Looking for a quick, crowd-pleasing appetizer? Homemade guacamole is one of the easiest dishes to prepare and adds a fresh, creamy touch to any meal. Plus, it only takes 5 minutes to make!
Ingredients:
- 3 ripe avocados
- 1 lime, juiced
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 medium tomato, diced
- 1 small bunch of cilantro, chopped
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- A pinch of cumin (optional)
Instructions:
- Prepare the avocados:
Slice the avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a large bowl. Use a fork to mash the avocado to your desired consistency—smooth or chunky, it’s up to you! - Add the flavor:
Add the chopped onion, garlic, and tomato to the mashed avocado. Then, stir in the chopped cilantro, lime juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper. If you like a little extra kick, sprinkle in some cumin! - Taste and adjust:
Give your guacamole a quick taste test. If it needs more lime, salt, or spice, add to taste. - Serve:
Serve immediately with tortilla chips, tacos, or as a topping for grilled chicken, or store in an airtight container for a few hours (tip: press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the guacamole to prevent browning).
Pro Tip:
To keep your guacamole fresh longer, try placing a pit from the avocado in the bowl before storing it in the fridge. It won’t prevent it entirely from browning, but it can help slow the process.
This quick and easy guacamole will be the hit of your next gathering! 🥑🌮 #GuacamoleLovers #CookingTips #FoodHacks #QuickMeals
