The Best Guacamole Recipe

The Best Guacamole Recipe

Guacamole is my favorite dip ever! I love the simplicity of it. You have to use the freshest ingredients to ensure that the taste is right. I learned the process from a local restaurant and I wanted to share it with my Cookies.

To stay as authentic as possible, I use a molcajete for this recipe. It’s a mortar and pestle. This renders the most flavor into your guacamole. It’s the absolute best tool to use to grind up spices and ingredients. I highly recommend incorporating this into your kitchen equipment.

When choosing avocados for your guacamole, make sure that it’s ripe. Give a gentle squeeze. If it gives a bit, it’s ready to use. Ripe avocados have a creamy flesh which are delightful in this recipe.

I prefer a chunky textured guacamole. So, I use the pestle to mash the avocados instead of grinding it up into a paste. But, the consistency is totally up to you. Make it as chunky or as creamy as you desire.

Watery guacamole is a huge no-no! Be sure to seed and pat the tomatoes dry before dicing and adding them to the mix. Be sure to check out my method in the tutorial.

Grab your tortillas or pita chips and enjoy!

Happy Eating,
