Introduction: Guacamole
A dish you'll enjoy making this summer and for all sorts of events. Every time I make this guacamole it's gone within the hour.
It is around mild/medium for spicyness, adjust however you want but I recommend following my recipe for your first try.
I'm making a sweet version for kids with walla walla onions and will post it when it's perfected.
Step 1: Ingredients
- 4 tomatoes diced (no romas and can't be too small)
- 5 to 6 avocados depending on size (you want 1.5 avocados for 1 tomato in size)
- 1 1/2 cups of red onion (diced)
- 2 jalapeños (minced)
- 1/3 cup cilantro
- 1/4 cup lime juice
- 1 tbl salt
- 1/2 cup sour cream (daisy for perfection)
Step 2: Dice Tomatoes

Step 3: Prep Tomatoes
Place tomatoes in a bowl.
Add 1 tbl of salt
Add 1/4 cup of lime juice
Mix very well.
Pat the tomatoes down so lime juice is touching the whole batch.
Place in fridge for 1/2 hour
Step 4: Dice Red Onion

Separate the little pieces of onion so they don't clump up and so you don't get all onion bites.
Step 5: Mince Jalapeño
Just showing a simple mince method.
Step 6: Mince Cilantro
Pinch cilantro in a tight ball to mince with ease.
Step 7: Prep Avocados
Dice avocados in their shell to get ready for a step ahead. Use spoon to scoop them out.
Step 8: Strain Tomatoes
Strain excess juice
Step 9: Almost There !
In a bowl place all of your prepped ingredients in the order it shows.
- tomatoes
- onions
- jalapeños
- cilantro
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- avocados
And mix very well. I mix this for about 3 minutes making sure everything is broken up in there so you get to taste everything in every bite.
Step 10: Enjoy !
Your hard work pays off ! In tacos, with chips or even on a burger you'll find that this dish pairs up with a lot of food. Because of its lime it's great for bringing up the taste in a fish dish.
