Instructions:
- Begin by gathering all the ingredients needed for this delicious guacamole.
- Peel and pit the avocados, then place them in a mixing bowl.
- Finely chop the onion, tomato, and any optional ingredients like garlic, Anaheim chili, or chipotle chile, depending on your preference. Add them to the bowl with the avocados.
- Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the ingredients in the bowl. This not only adds a zesty flavor but also helps prevent the avocados from browning.
- Sprinkle cumin evenly over the mixture. Adjust the quantity according to your taste preference, starting with 1/2 teaspoon and adding more if desired.
- If using cilantro and red pepper flakes, finely chop the cilantro and sprinkle it along with the red pepper flakes over the mixture.
- Now, it’s time to combine all the ingredients. Gently toss everything together until well mixed. For a chunky texture, simply serve the guacamole as is.
- If you prefer a smoother consistency, use a fork or potato masher to mash half of the guacamole mixture until you reach your desired texture. Then, stir it together with the remaining chunky ingredients.
- Once everything is well combined, taste the guacamole and adjust the seasoning if necessary. You can add more lemon juice, salt, or any other spices to suit your taste.
- Serve your homemade guacamole immediately with your favorite tortilla chips, vegetable sticks, or use it as a topping for tacos, burritos, or salads.
