🛒 Ingredients
- 3 ripe avocados
- 2 Roma tomatoes
- 1 serrano chile (or jalapeño)
- 1/4 white onion
- Fresh cilantro
- 2 limes (juice)
- Salt
👨🍳 Step-by-step instructions
-
Mash the avocado in a molcajete or with a fork: not in a blender, it should retain chunks.
-
Add the finely chopped onion and chile.
-
Stir in the tomato diced into small cubes (drain excess liquid).
-
Squeeze the limes. Add the chopped cilantro.
-
Season with salt. Serve immediately.
-
To prevent oxidation: keep the avocado pit inside and cover with plastic wrap in contact.
💡 Chef's tip
Guacamole should have texture: not a cream. Add the lime at the end to avoid excessive oxidation.
📝 Our take
Real guacamole uses ripe avocado, serrano chile, cilantro, onion and lime. No mayonnaise, no sour cream, no canned tomato. The texture should be rustic — slightly mashed, not pureed — and it must be eaten right away. Guacamole doesn’t wait.
🍷 Wine & food pairing
A very cold Mexican beer such as Modelo Especial or Corona with lime. Or fresh lime water with chili powder on the rim of the glass.
Suggested wine: Mexican beer Modelo or Corona with lime
