Mexican Guacamole
Ingredients
- 3 ripe avocados
- 1 small white onion (finely chopped)
- 2 serrano chilies (finely chopped, remove seeds for less heat)
- 3 tbsp cilantro (finely chopped)
- 1 lime juice (or to taste)
- salt (to taste)
- 1 medium tomato (finely chopped, optional)
- 1 clove garlic (minced, optional)
Instructions
- Cut the avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Using a fork, mash the avocados to your desired consistency. Some prefer a chunky texture, while others like it smoother.
- Add the finely chopped onion, serrano chilies, and cilantro to the mashed avocados. If using garlic and tomato, add them as well.
- Squeeze in the lime juice and add salt to taste. Lime juice not only adds flavor but also helps prevent the avocados from browning.
- Mix all ingredients thoroughly. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve immediately with tortilla chips or as a side dish to complement other Mexican dishes.
Your homemade traditional Guacamole is ready. ¡Buen provecho!
