Simple Guacamole
This guacamole recipe is a "tomatoeless" version that I learned while travelling in Mexico. It's very simple and tasty. REMEMBER!! Guacamole should not be completely smooth. It should have some substance and chunkiness! 🙂

Equipment
- Knife
- Bowl
- Spoon
- Fork
Ingredients
- 4 ripe Avocados (gently squeeze). It should give a little. If avocado is solid, it's not ripe
- 1/2 teaspoon Ground Cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon Chili Powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1 small Lime (to squeeze into Guacamole)
- 1/2 teaspoon Onion Powder
- 1/4 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1/2 cup Diced Tomoatoes (OPTIONAL)
Instructions
- Slice your Avocados in half length-wise
- Take the pit out of the center
- Repeat this for the other three avocados.
- Scoop the meat from the avocados into the bowl
- Cut your lime into two and squeeze one entire half onto the avocados
- Add the chili powder, cumin, salt, onion powder and garlic powder.
- Mash the avocados roughly with your fork. If your avocados are not ripe, this will not be easy and you may need to resort to using a potato masher. 🙂
- If you like tomatoes in your guacamole, add them here.
- Taste the mixture and make sure you have enough salt and/or lime flavoring to your liking. Add more of each if you need to. Let this chill for a little while in the fridge if you wish. If you've made a taco salad or nachos, this would be a great accompaniment!
- Enjoy with tortilla chips or on top of your taco salad or nachos!

Thank you for the recipe~ Do you have a trick to keep it from turning brown?
Hi Sue. When I have leftover guacamole, i actually mix in a little more lemon or lime juice before I store it in a seal tight container and put it in the fridge. It does get a slightly darker color over night, but a quick mix and it’s back to it’s brilliant green color immediately.
Best view you can finde , in this side of world!
