Naked Guacamole image

We love avocados in my family. This is called naked guacamole because the flavor of the avocado itself is highlighted along with a bit of crunch from the onion, tomato, salt, lime and cilantro. The texture should be chunky- please don't use a blender or processor. Although it may be tempting to add other things- simple is best (oh OK. . . add some garlic if you like ;) ) From Cooking from the Edge.

Time 8m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 Hass avocadoes, perfectly ripe
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt (to taste)
1 1/2 teaspoons lime juice, freshly squeezed
1 ripe roma tomatoes or 6 -8 sweet cherry tomatoes, seeded and finely chopped
1/4 of a white onion, finely chopped
12 large fresh cilantro stems, stemmed and roughly chopped

Steps:

  • Remove the seed and peel from the avocados and place in a bowl or molcajete.
  • Sprinkle with the salt and lime juice and crush with a fork, potato masher, or tejolote.
  • When the consistency is that of a chunky puree, stir in the tomato, onion, and cilantro.
  • Taste for seasoning.
  • If the guacamole is to be eaten with tostadas as a snack, it should be more highly seasoned.
  • Served alongside carnitas or carne asada, a little less seasoned so that it balances the other flavors.
