Homemade Guacamole

This week, I am sharing a fresh guacamole recipe that highlights several Mexican superfoods including tomatoes, chiles, and avocados. The basic recipe below is the same one that my mom, sisters, and I have always made. Sometimes I like to experiment and add cubed apple, fresh pomegranate seeds, pumpkin seeds, or crispy jicama for interesting texture and flavor!
Recipe by Lola
Ingredients:
2 large ripe avocados
2 cloves garlic minced
¼ medium red onion diced
1 jalapeño or serrano chile diced
1 medium firm tomato diced into small cubes
½ bunch cilantro
½ lemon or 1 lime freshly squeezed
Salt (to taste)
Preparation:
- Cut avocado in half lengthwise and remove pit (save one though). Spoon out avocado and add to bowl. Mash with fork until it is somewhat smooth or roughly chop with a knife if you prefer it chunky.
- Mix in garlic, red onion, jalapeño, tomato and cilantro.
- Squeeze lemon or lime juice over mixture and season with salt.
- Mix one last time, and add pit to prevent browning. Keep guacamole covered and refrigerated until ready to serve.
