Easy recipe for guacamole that can be made in minutes!
Ingredients
  • 2 limes (you will probably only need one)
  • 4 medium avocados
  • 1 garlic clove, minced or grated
  • 2 tablespoons cilantro, finely chopped
  • ½ to 1½ teaspoons of salt
  • 1 teaspoon pickled jalapeno juice (optional)
Instructions
  1. Juice one lime into a large bowl.
  2. Cut the avocados in half, remove pit, and spoon the flesh into the bowl. If you haven't gathered and chopped the garlic and cilantro, coat the avocado halves in the lime juice so they don't brown.
  3. Add the garlic and cilantro, ½ teaspoon of salt, and jalapeño juice if using.
  4. Using a fork or a cocktail muddler if your avocados aren't ripe enough, mash the avocados and stir the ingredients together. A few small chunks of avocado are ok.
  5. At this point, taste the guacamole. I highly suggest if you are serving it with chips that you use a chip to taste it, if you are using it as a condiment on tacos, use a fork. For me, I almost always add more salt a pinch at a time, and if the lime wasn't very juicy, I'll add more juice.
  6. Ideally you should serve immediately. If you need to store the guacamole for later, use an airtight container AND press plastic wrap directly on to the surface of the guacamole.
