Authentic Guacamole
May 26, 2010 > No Comments
Authentic guacamole…? Is there such a thing? Try doing a Google search and you’ll find that there are many different ways to make guacamole. There is not one “recipe” that is “authentic“. But from what I found there are a few basic ingredients in all guacamole. It seems that real guacamole does not contain sour cream or mayo, nor is there any specific measurements to the so called recipe. The key to great guacamole is do you like it and are there any leftovers? If you like it and there is little to no leftovers at the end of the meal, I’d say you’ve stumbled upon a great “recipe” and can claim it as your own! Sounds good to me!
I never had thought of making homemade guacamole until it was made for me. So I did many searches and found out that as long as you use these few ingredients, you’ll come up with – guacamole! I am sharing with you the measurements that suit our family’s tastes.
And as a bit of a warning, always buy at least one more avocado than you intend to use, because you never know exactly what you’ll get when you slice into an avocado! Trust me on this one.
- 4 avocados – 3 chopped fine, 1 mashed
- Juice of 2 limes
- 3 Roma tomatoes, gutted and diced
- 1/4 cup red onion, diced
- 1/4 bunch of cilantro, leaves only, finely chopped
- 1 clove of garlic, minced
- salt and pepper to taste
Mix all ingredients together. Serve immediately with tortilla chips and/or your favorite Mexican dish!
To help with discoloring, place saran wrap directly onto the surface of the guacamole and store in refrigerator.
