Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • fork or potato masher

Ingredients

  • 2 large ripe Haas avocados
  • 1 Tablespoon lime juice from half a lime or to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon sumac optional for extra tartness
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cumin
  • ¼ teaspoon ground coriander
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper optional for heat
  • ¼ cup onion finely diced
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • ¼ cup cilantro chopped
  • ½ teaspoon Salt or to taste

Instructions

  • Cut avocados in half, scoop out the flesh and discard seed.
  • Using a fork mash up the avocados to desired consistency.
  • Add onions, garlic, cilantro, lime juice and all the spices. Stir to combine well.
  • Taste to adjust seasoning then serve.

Notes

  • Discard any browned areas in your avocados if there is any.
  • Taste as you go to adjust salt and lime juice.
  • You can use Jalapeños instead of cayenne pepper if you would like to.
  • Or skip the cayenne pepper for a no spicy guacamole.
  • Store leftover no tomato guacamole in an air tight container with a thin layer of oil of your choice and a layer of plastic wrap. Discard the oil before consuming.
  • Leftovers should be kept in a glass bowl and covered tightly with plastic wrap right on top of the guacamole.
  • If the surface turns brown just scrape the top and the rest will be green.
 
  • Make ahead:
    • Although guacamole takes literally minutes to make and I would love for you to serve it fresh, you can still make it a head, place in an airtight container and cover top with a thin layer of oil. Can stay fresh in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Pour out the oil, give it a good stir and taste to adjust seasoning again before serving.
 
  • Variations:
    • You can add more of one seasoning and less of another, it's really based on your preferences.
    • Add more lime juice or even a squeeze of lemon.
    • Add finely diced sweet bell peppers, chives or yes, even tomatoes.
    • Add a touch of sour cream, yogurt or cream cheese if you like your guacamole on the creamier side.
    • For more flavor, chop onions first and soak them in the lime juice for 10-15 minutes, it takes some of the harshness out of the onions and distributes the flavor of both very well.
    • If you love more lime flavor in guac try adding the zest from the lime to the mix, bumps up the flavor a notch.
