What You’ll Need:
- 2 ripe avocados
- 1 small red onion, finely chopped
- 1 tomato, deseeded and diced
- 1 jalapeno pepper, deseeded and minced
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 lime, juiced
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
Step 1: Prepare the Avocados
Using a sharp knife, cut the avocados in half lengthwise and remove the pits. Scoop the avocado flesh into a bowl and mash it with a fork until creamy but still slightly chunky.
Step 2: Add the Ingredients
Add the finely chopped red onion, diced tomato, minced jalapeno pepper, chopped cilantro, minced garlic clove, lime juice, salt, and pepper to the bowl with the mashed avocados. Mix everything well until all the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Step 3: Adjust the Seasoning
Taste the guacamole sauce and adjust the seasoning according to your preference. If you want it spicier, add more minced jalapeno pepper. If it needs more acidity, squeeze in more lime juice. Don’t be afraid to experiment and find the perfect balance of flavors for your taste buds.
Step 4: Serve and Enjoy
Your homemade guacamole sauce is now ready to be enjoyed! You can serve it as a dip with tortilla chips, as a spread on toast or sandwiches, or as a topping for tacos and quesadillas. The possibilities are endless!
Remember, freshly made guacamole sauce is best enjoyed immediately. Avocado tends to oxidize and turn brown when exposed to air for too long. If you have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consume within a day or two.
So there you have it, a simple guide to making delicious guacamole sauce. Now you can impress your friends and family with your homemade Mexican culinary skills. Enjoy!
