Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 ripe avocados
- ⅓ cup red onion coarsely chopped
- ¼ cup fresh cilantro coarsely chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice about ½ lime
- ¼ teaspoon salt or to taste
- ¼ teaspoon Cajun seasoning optional
Instructions
- Prepare Avocados: cut avocados in half, lengthwise, around the pit. Open the two halves. Using a knife, carefully remove the avocado pit. Using a tablespoon, scoop the avocado flesh out of the shell by gently carving out the avocado from the sides of the shell. Dice avocados into large pieces (about 4 pieces per half of the avocado).
- Chop the onion and cilantro roughly
- Add all ingredients to the jar of your blender and pulse until desired consistency is reached.
Notes
- Select avocados that are ripe but not overly soft. They should yield slightly to gentle pressure when squeezed but still feel firm.
- Blend the ingredients in the blender until smooth for a creamy texture, or pulse briefly for chunkier guacamole, depending on your preference.
- Start with the recommended amount of salt and chili seasoning, then taste and adjust according to your preference. Start with a little and add more as needed.
- To prevent the guacamole from turning brown, cover it tightly with plastic wrap, ensuring the plastic is touching the surface of the guacamole to minimize air exposure. Alternatively, squeeze extra lime juice over the top before storing.
