Guacamole

Guacamole With Tortilla Chips

Anyone who loves avocado, will adore this Mexican dip.  Guacamole consists of fresh and healthy ingredients.  Not to mention, that you just need little amount of time and effort to prepare this lovely creamy dip.

Fresh Ingredients Makes Your Guacamole More Delicious

Like usual, I will  share the authentic a. k. a basic recipe. 

Guacamole

Ingredients:
2 haas avocados

1 tomato, seeded and diced

2 tbsp diced shallot (you can use red onion or spring onion)

1 jalapeño or serrano chiles, diced

Handful coriander leaves, roughly chopped
Juice from 1/2 lime
Salt 
Ground black pepper 
 

Fresh Ingredients

Method:

1. To have more intense guacamole flavor, we make first a paste;  grind 1/2-1 tbsp diced shallot, 1 tbsp cilantro (coriander), 1 tbsp jalapeño  and salt with mortar and pestle. 

*If you don't have mortar and pestle, just use regular mixing bowl and other utensils such as spoon or fork  to grind or mash the ingredient

2. Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits (do not throw it away, we will need it later on) then  scoop the avocados flesh into the mortar. 

3.  Mash the avocado flesh and combine it with the aromatic paste.  Mash it gently to keep it in the chunky texture.  Make sure that the avocado flesh is combined with the aromatic paste.

4. Add lime juice into avocado mixture then mix well.

5. Season again with salt and black pepper.

6. Add the rest of all diced ingredients into the bowl (tomatoes, cilantro, jalapeño and shallot) then stir until combine.

7. Serve immediately.  Don´t forget to put the avocado pit into our guacamole to prevent this dip from turning brown.

You can also use guacamole as topping for almost everything ;)
I like to put it, on top of my baked sweet potatoes and zucchini chips.
