Ingredients
- 2 whole avocados
- 1 lime, juice of
- 2 medium tomatoes, chopped
- 1 medium onion, chopped fine
- Pepper
- Salt
- 1 to 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or to taste)
How to Make
-
Step 1: Choose avocados by removing the little seed, and do not choose ones that look dark there. Ripe avocados have a slight give to them; when yours is at the peak of ripeness, you can refrigerate to halt any further ripening for a day or so.
-
Step 2: Halve avocados; easily remove seed by rapping it with a sharp utility knife (just enough so the knife sticks onto the seed), giving a slight twist and pulling out, remove fruit by running a spoon next to skin.
-
Step 3: Place avocado in bowl and mash with fork; immediately mix in lime juice, incorporating well.
-
Step 4: Mix in remaining ingredients; serve immediately. What you do not use will begin to turn dark; place plastic wrap right on the guacamole and try to seal out all air- this is not foolproof, but it helps. Dark guac is caused by oxygenation. The lime juice also helps to retard spoilage.
