Really Good Guacamole image

Guacamolé is so much better if it's homemade. A few months ago, some co-workers wanted to have a group lunch in the office, and I was asked to contribute something to munch on. My first choice was a bust because I couldn't find all the ingredients, so in a pinch I thought of guacamolé. I figured it'd be something most everyone would like. Except I've never really liked it. I scoured the internet and wound up combining a few different versions and here is what I came up with. I like how there's much more than just avocado going on in it.

Time 20m

Yield 2 cups, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 avocados, ripe (Black or Hass)
2 garlic cloves, peeled
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup lime juice, fresh, about 1 - 2 limes
1/4 cup tomatoes, diced (I used Roma)
1/4 cup red onion, diced
1 jalapeno, finely chopped
1/4 cup cilantro, leaves only, chopped
1/2 teaspoon hot sauce

Steps:

  • Open each avocado by running a knife around the long end until the blade hits the seed. Twist the halves and pull apart. Insert the knife blade firmly into the seed and twist to pull out.
  • Scoop out the avocado flesh and place in a medium bowl.
  • Gently mash together the garlic cloves and the salt with the side of a knife until it forms a paste. Add this to the avocado.
  • Add the lime juice.
  • Gently fold in the tomatoes, onion, jalapeño, cilantro leaves, and hot sauce.
  • Refrigerate until using. Serve with tortilla chips.
