Cooking Method and Steps:
Whip up this creamy guacamole by mashing ripe avocados and blending them with fresh lime juice, diced tomatoes, onions, and cilantro for a vibrant dip perfect for any occasion. You can make Guacamole by following these Easy Steps.
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.
A helpful trick is to check under the stem. If you can easily remove it and see green underneath, the avocado is ripe and ready to use. If it’s brown, the avocado is overripe. For the best results, buy avocados a few days in advance and let them ripen at room temperature.
Step 2. Mixing in the perfect ingredients

Removing the pit, and scooping the flesh into a bowl. help a fork to mash the avocados to your desired consistency some prefer it chunky, while others like it smooth. 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.
The final touch is a squeeze of fresh lime juice. Be careful not to overdo it you want the lime to enhance the flavours and not overpower them. Add salt to taste, and if you like.

Guacamole is best served immediately after preparation. Present it in a molcajete (a traditional Mexican mortar and pestle) for an authentic touch, or simply use a nice bowl. Serve with tortilla chips, use it as a topping for tacos, or spread it on sandwiches and burgers.
