Ingredients

To prepare this authentic guacamole recipe, you will need the following ingredients:

• 3                 Ripe Avocados
• 1 small       Red Onion
• 2                 Roma Tomatoes
• 2                 Garlic Cloves
• 1                 Lime
• 1 cup          Chopped Cilantro
• To Taste     Salt & Pepper

Instructions

1) Preparation:
Before you start making your guacamole, it's essential to prepare all the ingredients. This will ensure a smooth and efficient process as you go along. Peel and pit the ripe avocados. Cut them into small chunks and place them in a mixing bowl. Finely chop the red onion, dice the roma tomatoes, and mince the garlic cloves. Chop the fresh cilantro and set aside.

2) Mashing the Avocados:
The texture of guacamole largely depends on how well you mash the avocados. Using a fork or a potato masher, gently mash the avocado chunks in the mixing bowl. Be careful not to over-mash as some small chunks will add texture to the guacamole. Once mashed, squeeze the juice of one lime into the bowl. The lime juice not only adds a tangy flavor but also prevents the avocados from browning. Continue to mix the mashed avocados and lime juice until well combined.

3) Adding the Flavors:
The combination of flavors in guacamole is what makes it so irresistible. Add the finely chopped red onion, diced tomatoes, and minced garlic to the mashed avocado mixture.
Sprinkle in the freshly chopped cilantro. Season with salt and pepper according to your taste preferences. Gently fold all the ingredients together, ensuring that everything is well mixed.

4) Serving and Storage:
Once your authentic guacamole is ready, it's time to serve and enjoy! Transfer the guacamole into a serving bowl and garnish with some additional cilantro for presentation.

Serve with your choice of tortilla chips, vegetable sticks, or pita bread.
Guacamole is best enjoyed fresh, so it's recommended to consume it within a few hours of preparation. However, if you do have leftovers, store the guacamole in an airtight container and press plastic wrap directly onto the surface to prevent browning. Keep the stored guacamole in the refrigerator for up to two days. Before serving again, give the guacamole a quick stir to freshen it up.

Mix it!
