Easy Homemade Guacamole Recipe with Fresh Lime

Once upon a time, I had a tub of store-bought guacamole. I didn't understand why people liked it until I had homemade guacamole at a Mexican restaurant. That changed everything! Homemade is always better, tastier, and healthier.

The secret? Fresh ingredients. Creamy avocados, fresh tomatoes, a hint of red pepper heat, and a lime touch to balance out the flavors. This dip goes with so many dishes; you can have it on the table in less than 10 minutes.

Preparation

Mash the avocado flesh with a fork and season with lime.
Mix well with tomatoes, coriander, chopped shallot, chili, and garlic. Season with salt, pepper, and extra lime juice if necessary.

Instructions

Cut the avocados in half lengthwise up to the pit. Twist the halves apart. Remove the pit and scoop the flesh out of the skin with a spoon.
2 avocados
Place the avocado flesh on a deep plate and mash it with a fork.
Squeeze about 2 tablespoons of lime juice and pour it over the avocado. This adds flavor and prevents the guacamole from turning brown.
2 tablespoons lime juice
Add the finely chopped red pepper, shallot, tomato, pressed garlic, and coriander. Mix everything well.
1 shallot, 1 red chili pepper, 1 tomato, ½ clove garlic, ½ oz. fresh coriander
Taste the guacamole and add some extra salt, pepper, or lime juice to taste.

Notes

1. Serving tip: Serve the guacamole with extra coriander leaves, lime, or a pinch of chili flakes (if you like a bit of spice). It's perfect with tortilla chips, on toast, or as a dip for vegetables.

2. Storage: Guacamole is best when fresh (and ready within 10 minutes anyway).

Do you still want to store it? Then, press a piece of foil directly onto the guacamole so that it does not discolor as quickly. This way, it will be kept in the fridge for another day.
