Ingredients

• 4 large avocados
• 2 medium limes (4 tbsp lime juice)
• 1/2 cup cilantro, finely chopped
• 1 small garlic clove, grated
• 1/2 tsp salt

Instructions

• To cut avocado, slice in half lengthwise and twist both halves to open. Gently tap your chef’s knife into the pit and twist.
• Scoop out avocado with a tablespoon and transfer to a medium bowl. If avocado is on a harder side, cut in big chunks right inside the half and attached to the skin first.
• Mash using a potato masher (my favorite) or fork until desired consistency. We like chunky.
• To squeeze lime juice, roll limes on a cutting board first and then cut in half and squeeze. This step helps to get more juice from citrus.
• Add lime juice, cilantro, garlic, salt and stir gently. Adjust salt and anything else taste.
• Serve with chips, quesadillas, tacos, fajitas and tostadas.
• Make ahead and Store: Place guacamole in a glass container with a lid, flatten with a spoon and do not close yet. Either place a sheet of plastic wrap and press on it to remove air bubbles. Or pour a thin layer of cold water. Then close tightly and refrigerate for 2 days. When ready to serve, remove either, stir and serve. Guacamole should stay more or less green.

Notes

• Choose avocado with brown skin, firm but when pressed it gives in, and with a tip attached.
• If our of limes, lemon juice will be fine. Please don’t use bottled – not same flavor at all.Fresh lime juice is the best.
• Cilantro is optional. It is good but many times I made guac without it because i didn’t have nay on hand and it was still so good!
