A perfectly ripe avocado – the kind you want for this recipe – is purple-black in color and yields to gentle pressure. An over-ripe avocado is black and mushy.

Authentic Mexican Guacamole

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

1. Using a knife or avocado tool, slice avocados in half. Reserve the pits for later.
2. Remove the peels and place the avocado in a bowl.
3. Mash the avocados until the consistency is smooth with just a few small lumps.
4. Add remaining ingredients to the bowl. Gently fold all ingredients together.
5. If serving guacamole as an appetizer, transfer Mexican Guacamole to a molcajete.
6. Garnish with a few cilantro leaves on stems, or a sprinkling of Mexican Cotija Cheese.
7. Serve guacamole with restaurant-style tortilla chips.

Notes

Control the heat factor: Jalapeno chiles are milder than Serrano chiles!

If your guacamole will not be enjoyed right away, add in an avocado pit or two, and squeeze a bit more lime juice on top. This will help the guacamole from turning brown.
