Preparation:

  • Cut the avocado horizontally or lengthwise. This fruit has a pit hence, cut it all around and then twist it around to open the two pieces.
  • Remove the pit or the seed, scoop out the flesh into a bowl and mash it using a fork or a back of a spoon.
  • Cut tomato in half, remove the pulp and chop it.
  • Chop onions and green chilies or Serrano peppers.
  • Add these to avocado along with salt and lime juice, mix well.
  • Taste and adjust the seasoning. I added a pinch of black pepper, yet the dip wasn’t spicy enough to my taste.
  • If serving right way, add cilantro and serve it with tortilla chips or fresh warm tortillas. I had some left over toasted pita bread from yesterday and served it with guacamole.

Note:

  • All the ingredients listed above can be adjusted to taste
  • Few recipes on the web call for garlic as well. Can add it if one like the flavor for garlic. Though I like garlic, I prefer not to use it in guacamole.
  • One of my cousin’s adds dry oregano to the dip and it tastes fine. Use this as a base recipe and adjust or add more flavors to one’s liking.
