Guacamole

Guacamole is an avocado-based recipe dip that originated in Mexico. The Aztecs originally made guacamole by mashing ripe avocados with a molcajete.

  • 2 medium ripe avocados, (1 pound total, quartered, pitted, and peeled)
  • 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, (chopped)
  • 0.25 cup white onion, (minced)
  • 1 medium fresh Serrano Chile, (without seeds, minced)
  • 2 teaspoons fresh lime juice, (or to taste)
  • 1.5 teaspoons salt, (or to taste)
  • 0.25 cups water
  • 2 Roma tomatoes, (diced)
  1. Mash together all ingredients in a bowl with a fork until smooth, using enough water for desired consistency.

Guacamole can be made 1 hour ahead and chilled for best flavor. Its surface should be covered with plastic wrap.
