Description
This classic guacamole recipe is the definitive fresh dip for any occasion. By focusing on high-quality, ripe avocados and traditional aromatics like white onion, cilantro, and serrano pepper, we create a rich and creamy texture with bright, acidic highlights. Following the authentic technique of gently folding ingredients to maintain a rustic consistency, this dip offers an unparalleled freshness that pairs perfectly with your favorite salty tortilla chips or tacos.
Ingredients
3 large ripe avocados
1/4 cup white onion, finely diced
1/3 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1 small serrano pepper, minced (seeds removed for less heat)
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
Slice avocados in half lengthwise and remove the pits.
Scoop the avocado flesh into a large mixing bowl or a stone molcajete.
Mash the avocado lightly with a fork to maintain some texture.
Add the finely diced onion, chopped cilantro, and minced serrano pepper.
Fold the aromatics gently into the avocado base.
Add the fresh lime juice and sea salt.
Stir the mixture until all ingredients are uniformly incorporated.
Notes
Select avocados that yield slightly to gentle pressure without feeling mushy. Mince onions very finely to ensure they blend seamlessly into the texture. If you have leftovers, keep the avocado pit in the bowl with the dip covered tightly to help prevent oxidation.
