8
servings
Ingredients
- 6 (900 g) ripe hass avocados about 2 pounds
- (60-90 ml) juice from 2-3 limes
- 1 (150 g) large tomato seeds and pulp removed, diced
- 1 (10 g) serrano chili minced
- 0.5 (60 g) red onion minced
- 3/4 cup (15 g) chopped cilantro
- 1.5 teaspoons (9 g) kosher salt
- (1 g) freshly ground black pepper a few turns
- 0.5 teaspoon (1 g) cumin
- 0.25 teaspoon (0.5 g) cayenne pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon (0.5 g) paprika
Equipment
- Mixing bowl
- Knife
Instructions
- Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and place in a bowl. Squeeze the juice of two limes over the avocados and mix well. This will keep them from turning brown. Use your knife to cut up the avocados, but leave them in fairly large chunks. They'll continue to break up as you mix in the rest of the ingredients.
- Add the rest of the ingredients. Remember to be mindful of the fresh ingredients, they can be potent at times! Carefully mix everything together, trying not to turn the avocados into complete mush.
- Taste and add more lime juice, serrano chili, onion, and cilantro if necessary.
Notes
Let your taste buds lead; onion and chile strength can vary by batch. Store with plastic wrap touching the guacamole to minimize browning.
