Ingredients
- 3 ripe Haas avocados
- ½ red or sweet Vidalia onion minced
- 3-5 fresh Roma tomatoes or 2 medium vine-ripe tomatoes diced (or 1 can Ro-tel®, drained)
- 2 Tbs. diced green chiles
- ½ Tbs. minced garlic to taste (optional)
- 2 tsp. ground cumin
- ¾ tsp. coarse sea salt
- Black pepper to taste
- ½ teaspoon ancho chile pepper powder or cayenne pepper optional
- 1 bunch fresh cilantro slightly chopped (optional)
- 3 Tbs. fresh lime juice
Instructions
- Dice then sauté onions in 1-2 tablespoons oil until lightly browned.
- Scoop avocado flesh out of shells and remove pits. Place avocado in a large bowl or molcajete and mash with a pestle, potato masher or the back of a large spoon.
- Add onion, tomatoes, chiles and spices; mix together with a fork. Taste and adjust seasoning. Stir in cilantro and lime juice.
- Cover with plastic wrap laying directly on the top of guacamole to prevent exposure to air.
- Serve immediately or chill 30 minutes before serving. The lime juice will help prevent browning, but guacamole is best served soon after preparing.
