🛒 Ingredients
- 2 ripe avocados
- 1–2 fresh garlic cloves, finely chopped (adjust to taste)
- Juice of 1 lime (or lemon)
- A pinch of sea salt
- Fresh cilantro (optional, to taste)
- Diced tomatillo, jalapeños, and red onion
(Alternatives: green tomatoes instead of tomatillos, or bell peppers for a milder flavor)
👩🍳 Instructions
✅ Step 1: Prepare the Avocado
Slice the avocados in half and remove the pits.
Scoop the flesh into a medium bowl.
✅ Step 2: Add Seasonings
Add the finely chopped garlic, a pinch of sea salt, and the lime (or lemon) juice to the avocado.
These ingredients add brightness and depth of flavor.
✅ Step 3: Mash or Blend
Use a fork to mash the mixture to your desired consistency.
For a smoother, more sauce-like guacamole, you can blend it—just note it will be thinner.
✅ Step 4: Finish with Add-ins
Stir in the diced red onion, tomatillo or green tomato, and jalapeños or bell pepper.
Adjust based on how spicy or mild you want it.
✅ Step 5: Optional Garnish
Top with chopped fresh cilantro for a bold herbal touch.
