Mixing bowl
fork or potato masher
- 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
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.
- 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.
