Easy Guacamole Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 medium size avocado, ripe and ready to use
• 1 small size red onion, finely chopped
• 1 small size tomato, deseeded and chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, minced or crushed
• 1 jalapeno or green chilli, deseeded and fine chopped
• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt or to taste
• 1/4 teaspoon guacamole seasoning (optional)
• 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil (to avoid blackening)
• 1/2 lime, juiced
• handful of cilantro, chopped

Instructions

1. 1

   In a mortar, add minced garlic, onion, salt, green chilli, and olive oil. Gently pound them. This helps in toning down the raw taste.

2. 2

   Add avocado pulp to the mortar. Pour the fresh lime juice over the avocado. Sprinkle in the salt and seasoning. Use a fork, pestle, or a potato masher to break down the avocado.

3. 3

   Add chopped cilantro, give it a good stir to fully combine all the ingredients. Drizzle extra virgin olive oil on top. Take a taste test (using a chip, naturally!).

4. 4

   Serve guacamole with tortilla chips, potato chips, vegetable sticks, or as a side with your favourite Mexican dishes.
