Description
This quick homemade guacamole packs more tastiness and more freshness than store-bought! Ready in 10 minutes, so simple, and so satisfying!
Ingredients
- 2 avocados, mashed*
- 3 tsp lime juice
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp chilli powder
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 – 1/2 red onion, chopped*
- 1 large or 2 small roma tomatoes, diced*
- 1/4 cup cilantro*
*Fresh ingredients you need that are not part of our pantry and freezer tips.
Instructions
- Slice and remove the pit from your avocados. Scoop the flesh into a bowl and mash with a fork until smooth.
- Add lime juice, salt, chilli powder, and garlic. Stir to combine.
- Gently fold in chopped onion, tomato, and cilantro.
- Spoon into your serving dish, garnish with more cilantro, a sprinkling of more chilli powder and a squeeze of lime.
- Best when fresh but if you have leftovers, store in the fridge. To prevent as much browning as possible, try patting down the mixture in the bowl and pouring in half an inch or so of cold water. Cover the bowl with a tight fitting lid or wax wrap. To use again, pour the water off the top, give it a stir and use within 2 days.
Notes
*Cost Comparison: CAD $4.82 vs. roughly $7.99 store-bought
*I prefer my guac not too limey but feel free to add more lime and sub the chilli powder for chopped jalapeno or cayenne.
*Ripe avocados are darker green, closer to black, and should have some give when you squeeze them. If they are still very hard you will not be able to mash them. Too soft, they may be overripe and brown inside. A tip for speeding up the ripening of avocados if they are too hard is to leave them on the counter next to bananas (or sealed in a paper bag with a banana).
