When it comes to making Guacamole from scratch, I’ve become a bit of an expert. Although I live in California, I’m blessed to spend about three months a year in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. In markets south of the border you can find gorgeous ripe avocados, Mexican limes, chilies and tomatoes year round.
INGREDIENTS
- 3 Haas Avocados
- 1/4 cup red onion, finely diced
- 1/4 cup Roma tomatoes, finely diced
- 1/4 cup cilantro leaves, chopped (no stems)
- 1 Jalapeno or Serrano chile (about 1 tablespoon), finely diced
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt (or maybe a little bit more!)
- 1 tablespoon lime juice, squeeze the juice from 3 key limes
- Optional Garnish: cilantro leaves on stems, or sprinkling of Mexican Cotija Cheese
INSTRUCTIONS
- Using a knife or avocado tool, slice avocados in half. Reserve the pits for later.
- Remove the peels and place the avocado in a bowl.
- Mash the avocados until the consistency is smooth with just a few small lumps.
- Add remaining ingredients to the bowl. Gently fold all ingredients together.
- If serving guacamole as an appetizer, transfer Mexican Guacamole to a molcajete.
