Servings: 6 servings
Calories: 219kcal
Ingredients
- 4 ripe avocados
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (amount 1 regular-sized lime's worth)
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
Slice the avocados:
- Slice open the 4 ripe avocados length-wise. Discard the pits and scrape the flesh into a large bowl.
Mash with lime juice:
- Pour the 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice over the avocado. Use a potato masher to mash the avocado and juice together.
Add the last ingredients:
- Add in the 4 cloves garlic, minced and the ½ teaspoon salt to the bowl. Stir the guacamole to mix everything together well.
Enjoy!
- Serve the guacamole with tortilla chips. Makes about 2 cups.
To store:
- Cover with guacamole with a thin layer of lime juice, then press a piece of food wrap to the surface. Refrigerate the guacamole for up to two days.
Notes
- Use just-ripe avocados in this recipe: the skin will be greenish-brown and the flesh should yield a little when you press on it.
- Avoid avocados that look almost black and that cave in when you press them. Sometimes grocery stores put a "ripe" label on these to try to get rid of them, but the flesh inside will be streaked/splotched with brown and look rather gross.
- If your avocados are rock-hard (under-ripe), put them in a closed paper bag for a day or two, and they should ripen quickly.
