Equipment
- Cutting board
- knife
- Mixing bowl
- Fork or spoon
- Measuring spoons
- Citrus juicer or handheld juicer
- Food processor or blender (optional)
Ingredients
- 2 ripe Avocados
- ½ teaspoon of Garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon of Onion powder
- ½ teaspoon of Cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon of smoked Paprika
- ¼ teaspoon of Salt
- Black pepper
- Lime juice
- Cilantro (optional)
Instructions
- Cut the 2 Ripe Avocados in half lengthwise and Remove the Pit. Once you have done this, you can twist the two halves apart. Press the knife blade into the pit and twist it to remove it.Once you have successfully removed the pit, use a spoon to scoop out the avocado flesh and place it in a mixing bowl.
- Mashing the avocado is the next thing you must do after placing the flesh in a mixing bowl. You should mash the avocado with a fork or spoon until you achieve the desired texture. If you want a smooth texture, mash the avocado until no large chunks are left. On the other hand, you can leave some larger avocado pieces if you desire a thicker texture.The way you mash the avocado depends on the texture you want.
- You must accurately measure the ingredients and add them to the mixing bowl. Accurately measure 1 tablespoon of garlic powder, 1 tablespoon of onion powder, 1 tablespoon of cumin powder, 1 tablespoon of paprika, 1/2 tablespoon of salt, 1/4 tablespoon of black pepper, and 1 juiced lime and pour them into the bowl.If you use fresh cilantro, chop it finely and add it to the mixing bowl. Accurately measuring the right ingredients is pretty critical as it goes a long way in determining the guacamole taste.
- mix the ingredients with a fork or spoon until the seasoning is evenly distributed. If you want to use a food processor or blender, transfer the mixture into the food processor or blender and blend until everything is smooth.On the other hand, if you want the mixture to be thicker, use a fork or spoon instead of a blender.
- Once the guacamole is mixed, taste the mixture and adjust the seasonings until you get the desired taste. You may want to add more salt, lime juice, or other seasonings to achieve the desired taste and flavor.
- If you’re serving the guacamole immediately, you can transfer it to a serving dish and garnish it with additional cilantro. However, if you’re storing it for later, cover the mixing bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the guacamole to an airtight container and refrigerate until you are ready to use it.It should take you around 10 to 15 minutes to prepare this recipe. You can take the dip with various other dishes, including fresh vegetables, tacos or burritos, grilled meat, burgers, and much more.
