Equipment

Mixing bowls
Knife
Cutting board
Colander
Citrus squeezer
Potato masher

Ingredients

7 avocados ripened
2 small roma tomatoes (about ¾ cup, diced)
¼ cup red onion diced small
1 lime juice of
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro (or cilantro substitute)
½ teaspoon salt or to taste
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
cracked pepper (optional) to taste

Instructions

Wash produce and set it aside to drain in a colander.
Slice all of the avocados in half and remove the seeds. Scoop out the flesh into a large bowl and discard the remainder.
Using a citrus squeezer, squeeze the juice of the lime over the top of the avocados and lightly mash with a potato masher (or fork).
Dice tomato, onion, and cilantro. Add it to the bowl of avocados and sprinkle with salt and garlic powder.
Mix well and add cracked pepper if desired. Serve immediately with your favorite tortilla chips.

Notes

Storage Store guacamole in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days, pressing plastic wrap onto the surface to prevent browning.
Freeze Freezing isn’t recommended, as it affects texture.
Reheat Serve chilled or at room temp, stirring before serving if needed. No reheating is required.

Substitutions

Cilantro: Substitute cilantro with fresh basil or flat leaf parsley instead. You could also leave it out altogether.
Tomatoes: A garden tomato or grape tomatoes would work well.

Adjustments Cooking time may need to be adjusted based on the geography of the area (high vs. low elevation), cookware (stoneware vs traditional bakeware), and outdoor temperature if grilling.
