Step 1. Choosing ripe avocados

The Main ingredient to great guacamole starts with selecting the right avocados. Look for Hass avocados that are dark green to almost black in color. When gently squeezed, they should yield to slight pressure but not feel mushy. If the avocado is too firm, it’s not ready yet.

Add finely diced red onion for a sharp flavour and grape tomato for a fresh burst. Cilantro is essential for that authentic Mexican taste, so chop up a good handful and mix it in. For a kick of heat, add finely diced jalapeno peppers, adjusting the amount to your spice preference.
