Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 3 | Avocados |
| 1/4 cup | Lime juice |
| 1 | Tomato |
| 1-2 cloves | Garlic |
| 1-2 | Banana peppers |
| 1/4 cup | Red onion |
| 1/4 tsp | Ground black pepper |
Instructions:
-
Preparation: Begin by gathering all your ingredients. You’ll need ripe avocados, fresh lime juice, tomatoes, garlic cloves, banana peppers, red onion, and ground black pepper.
-
Mash Avocados: Scoop out the flesh of the avocados into a medium-sized bowl. Using a fork, gently mash the avocados until you achieve your desired consistency. ๐ฅ
-
Add Lime Juice: Pour in the lime juice over the mashed avocados. The lime juice not only adds a zesty flavor but also helps in preventing the avocados from browning.
-
Incorporate Ingredients: Dice the tomato, mince the garlic cloves, and finely chop the banana peppers and red onion. Add them all to the bowl with the mashed avocados and lime juice.
-
Seasoning: Sprinkle ground black pepper over the mixture. Adjust the amount according to your taste preference.
-
Mix Well: Using a spoon or fork, gently stir all the ingredients together until well combined. Ensure that the avocados are evenly distributed throughout the guacamole.
-
Taste Test: Take a small spoonful of the guacamole and taste it. Adjust the seasoning if necessary. You can add more lime juice for acidity or salt for additional flavor.
-
Serve: Transfer the Gorgeous Guacamole to a serving dish. You can garnish it with some extra diced tomatoes, cilantro leaves, or a sprinkle of chili flakes for added visual appeal.
-
Enjoy: Serve your delicious guacamole with your favorite tortilla chips, veggie sticks, or use it as a topping for tacos, burritos, or salads.
-
Storage: If you have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Guacamole tends to oxidize quickly, so place a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface of the guacamole before sealing the container to help prevent browning.
-
Tip: To ripen avocados quickly, place them in a paper bag with a banana or apple. These fruits release ethylene gas, which speeds up the ripening process.
-
Bonus: For a creamy texture, you can also blend the guacamole ingredients in a food processor or blender instead of mashing them by hand.
