Bringing you the inside scoop on this simple, delicious, and oh-so-satisfying restaurant-style guacamole that is certain to be the smash hit of your Cinco de Mayo, Taco Tuesday, or ANY day avocado adventure. Fresh and full of flavor, we cannot sing the praises of this 5-ingredient wonder enough.
1. Add finely diced red onions and finely diced jalapeño to a large bowl or molcajete. Season with salt, pepper, cumin, and cilantro. Squeeze the juice of one lime on top and process ingredients into a thick paste -- allowing the acid of the lime to “cook” or temper the pungency of the red onion and the heat of the jalapeño while you halve, seed, and scoop your avocados.
2. Add avocado flesh to the molcajete or bowl and, with a fork, potato masher, or pestle, smash the avocado until it reaches your desired consistency. (We like to leave a bit of a toothsome bite to ours.)
3. Adjust heat and seasonings to taste.
4. Serve immediately with tortilla chips.
If red onion and/or jalapeño are in short supply, a few tablespoons of your favorite salsa or pico de gallo make excellent substitutions.
