Recipe Instructions:
| Step | Instructions |
|---|---|
| 1. | Begin by preparing your avocados. Slice them in half, remove the pits, and scoop out the flesh into a bowl. |
| 2. | Using a fork, mash the avocado slices on a flat cutting board until you reach your desired consistency. Some prefer it chunky, while others like it smooth. |
| 3. | Sprinkle and fold in 1/2 teaspoon of lemon juice to add a zesty kick to the avocados. This also helps to keep them from browning too quickly. |
| 4. | Next, fold in 1 1/2 teaspoons of onion powder to infuse the dip with savory flavor. Make sure it’s evenly distributed throughout the mixture. |
| 5. | Now it’s time to add the creamy element. Fold in 4 tablespoons of sour cream to create a rich and smooth texture. |
| 6. | Add another 1/2 teaspoon of lemon juice for an extra burst of freshness. Adjust the amount to suit your taste preferences. |
| 7. | For a touch of heat, add just a single drop of Tabasco sauce. Feel free to increase or decrease the amount based on how spicy you like it. |
| 8. | Finally, finely chop the tomato and fold it into the avocado and sour cream mixture. This adds a pop of color and juicy sweetness to the dip. |
| 9. | Give everything a good mix to ensure all the ingredients are well combined. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. |
| 10. | Once everything is mixed, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill the guacamole in the refrigerator for at least 1 1/2 hours. This allows the flavors to meld together and develop into a deliciously creamy dip. |
| 11. | When ready to serve, give the guacamole a final stir and transfer it to a serving bowl. Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh cilantro or a few slices of jalapeño for an extra kick. |
| 12. | Serve with your favorite low-sodium chips, crunchy veggie sticks, or use it as a topping for tacos, nachos, or grilled meats. Enjoy this guilt-free, flavorful dip with friends and family! |
Tips:
- Choose Ripe Avocados: Look for avocados that are slightly soft to the touch but not mushy. They should yield to gentle pressure.
- Storage: To prevent browning, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the guacamole before refrigerating.
- Customize Your Heat: Adjust the amount of Tabasco sauce to your liking. You can also add diced jalapeños or a pinch of cayenne for extra spice.
- Variations: Feel free to customize this dip with your favorite ingredients, such as diced red onion, chopped cilantro, or a squeeze of lime juice.
