Viewed: 56 - Published at: 3 years agoIngredients
- 4 ripe avocados
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon oregano
- 1 small onion, minced
- 1 small tomatoes or 5 cherry tomatoes, minced
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon salt substitute or 1 teaspoon salt
- cayenne pepper, to taste
Method
- Mix water and spices together in a medium bowl and let stand.
- Halve avocados; remove pits. With a spoon, slide the skins off.
- Cut in thirds (carefully inspect and cut out brown or black spots) and add to the bowl.
- Mince onion and tomato and add to bowl, along with lemon juice, cilantro and salt.
- Mash with a hand potato masher, then stir to blend the spices. Some people use a blender, but then the guacamole will be pureed with no texture.
- Taste and adjust the heat level by adding cayenne red pepper as desired.
- Guacamole needs a fair amount of salt, but before you add more, taste some on the chips you will be serving, as some chips are saltier than others.
- Cover the guacamole tightly and refrigerate until ready to serve. Serve with lots of tortilla chips. Whole grain crackers work great for this dip too.
