Need a healthy snack, appetizer, or topping for your burger? This family favorite guacamole recipe is it. You'll be surprised by how easy it is and you'll love the taste!
1/2small onion or 1/2 medium onion, chopped, red or white
1/4cupcilantro, finely chopped
lime juice
garlic powder
salt
Optional: 1 jalapeno, cored & diced
Instructions
Half and scoop out the inside of your avocados. Add to a bowl.
Mash your avocados until it's as smooth as you prefer. (My husband wants it extra smooth but I know some people prefer a chunkier consistency.)
Stir in your chopped tomato, onion, and diced jalapeno (optional).
Stir in your chopped cilantro.
Add lime juice, garlic powder, and salt to taste.
Serve with tortilla chips or plantain chips (my favorite). You can also use it as a topping for your burger, chicken, omelet, or salad to make them extra special!
Notes
Guacamole (and avocados in general) brown quickly once they are cut and exposed to air. I always make my guacamole just before I'm ready to serve it (at most around 30 minutes before serving time). I've tried no less than 20 methods to reduce browning but the end result is still that it will brown and start to look unappealing. Do yourself a favor and make it right before you're ready to eat!Nutrition information assumes 6 servings. If you're using the guacamole as a topping instead of a dip you may find that you'll use less than that amount.
