How to Make Guacamole Authentic Recipe

  1. Juice 1-2 limes into a medium-sized mixing bowl. This will help prevent the avocado from browning.
  2. Finely grate ½ a white onion (about ¼ cup) into the bowl.
  3. Core and roughly chop 1 medium tomato (about 1 cup). Remove seeds and squeeze excess juice into a separate bowl. Strain the juice and reserve (this will be used to adjust the consistency).
  4. Finely chop the chopped tomato and add to the bowl.
  5. Roughly chop ½ cup fresh cilantro and add to the bowl.
  6. Mince 2 cloves garlic and add to the bowl.
  7. Add ½ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon white pepper, ½ teaspoon ground cumin, a dash of hot sauce (to taste), and a pinch of cayenne pepper (optional, to taste).
  8. Halve, pit, and scoop the flesh from 2 ripe avocados (about 2 cups) into the bowl.
  9. Gently mash the ingredients with a fork until desired consistency is reached. Avoid over-mixing; leave some chunks for texture.
  10. Adjust seasonings to taste. If the mixture is too thick, add a tablespoon or two of the reserved tomato juice.
  11. Transfer the guacamole to a serving dish. Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface to prevent oxidation.
  12. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or up to 4 hours) before serving. This allows the flavors to meld.
  13. Garnish with a tomato rose (optional) and cilantro sprigs.
  14. Serve with warm, homemade yellow corn tortilla chips (recipe below).
