Guacamole Three Ways: Simple, Herby, or Luxurious

(from castro15’s recipe box)

Categories: Mexican

Ingredients

  • 2 medium ripe avocados
  • 1 garlic clove, peeled and finely chopped
  • Salt
  • Herby, add:
  • 2 tbsp chopped cilantro
  • 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • Luxurious, add:
  • Fresh hot green chile to taste, finely chopped
  • 1/4 small white onion, finely chopped
  • 1/2 medium tomato, chopped into 1/4" dice

Directions

  1. Cut the avocados in half, running your knife around the pit from stem to blossom end and back up again. Twist the halves in opposite directions to free the pit and pull the halves apart. Dislodge the pit, then scoop the avocado flesh into a medium bowl.

  2. Mash the avocado with a large fork or potato masher. Stir in the garlic, and about 1/2 tsp salt, plus any other sets of ingredients you’ve chosen. Taste and season with additional salt, if needed.
