After making my own guacamole, I will never go back to eating the store-bought kind again. This guacamole is so authentic and rich in flavor. If you love Mexican food, you will absolutely love this guacamole recipe! It’s so addicting! It’s also very quick to make.
Ingredients:
1/4 cup onion, diced
2 Tomato
3 Avocado
1 tsp salt (start with 1/2 tsp)
1 garlic clove
2 tsp lime juice
How to make guacamole
1. Using a chopper or sharp knife dice up the onion and soak it in a bowl of cold water to reduce the strong oniony taste.
2. After the onion has soaked for about 20 minutes, strain out the water using a mesh strainer and set aside.
3. Using a tomato corer or knife, remove all the cores from each tomato. Cut the tomato in half and dice it using a chopper or sharp knife.
4. In a bowl, mash the avocados with a potato masher. Using a zester, grate a small clove of garlic and add it to the avocados. If you don’t have a zester, a garlic press works too.
5. Add 1 tsp salt and 2 tsp freshly squeezed lime juice and mix it into the mashed avocados.
6. In the bowl of mashed avocados, mix in the tomatoes and onions. At this point, you could add diced jalapeños if you like your guacamole spicy.

So, I wanted to update my previous review. I’ve made this several times now. We love it on our cheeseburgers! I even printed the recipe to give to my mother in law!

Oh wow that’s awesome! I’m quite flattered you gave the printed recipe to your mother in law 🙂

I plan on making this guac this weekend, to go with hamburgers! I’m so excited LOL
How far in advance can I make this? Probably just an hour or so??

I actually made this guacamole last night and served it a noon today. It tasted just as good. Although I covered it with plastic wrap, the top tuned a slight brownish color. I just scraped of the top layer and it looked fine 🙂

Looks easy enough to make, especially if you use that chopper (which I have, but rarely use), so…. time to break out the chopper!

When it comes to recipes that require a lot of chopping, the chopper is my best friend. It really speeds up the process 🙂
