Guac this way
2:19 PMAfter searching through food blogs, reading too many guacamole recipes to count and then combining them all together, several batches later I have finally found the perfect guacamole recipe! It's been approved by the foodies (and the people who just like to eat) in my life, and I have had many ask for the recipe, so here it is!
What you'll need:
- 6 ripe avocados
- 2 limes juiced
- 2 Roma tomatoes
- 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
- 1 - 1 1/2 tsp fine sea salt (depending on how salty you like things)
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 3 tsp hot sauce (I use Cholula)
How to make the deliciousness:
- Mash your peeled & pitted avocados, fresh squeezed lime juice, garlic powder, and sea salt together.
- Tip: The mashing is easiest and the guac will taste better when you use ripe avocados! Not sure how to pick the ripe ones? First, check the color- they should be very dark, almost black. Second, push down near the stem of the avocado, it should give a little. If it's too hard, it still has awhile to go before it's ripe. If it squishes too easily, it's no good! You can always buy avocados a few days before you plan on using them and put them in a paper bag on the counter to speed up ripening. Once they're ripe, put them in the fridge until you're ready to use them.
- Tip: You can peel & pit avocados using a sharp knife, but I have found it so much easier (and faster) using an avocado tool! I love this one from OXO.
- Stir in chopped Romas, onion, cilantro, and hot sauce.
- Store in an air tight container, let sit in the fridge for a few hours, then enjoy!
It's as easy as that! Have a recipe or a secret ingredient that you think is even better? Please share with me!
