My Guacamole Recipe

Eversince I learned how to do my own guacamole, I can't stop making it, I probably make it every couple of weeks or so. I went to a cooking class about 2 years ago and learned a few Mexican dishes. It was taught by a friend of mine, who happens to be from Mexico City. It was a great course and have learned a lot. Prior to this course, I avoided making my own salsa and guacamole. I just didn't have the confidence to do it thinking it is difficult. Boy was I wrong. It was easy and quick and best of all it taste way better making it at home than buying packaged stuff. My guacamole is almost the same as the one he taught us to make. I did edit the recipe a little bit adding my own twists. Hope you like it.

Variations & Tips

you can use fresh garlic and onion if you prefer,

if so, grate the garlic so it is minced finely

and finely chop the onions (red onions preferrably)

also, sometimes i add a dallop of sour cream to my guacamole to

add acidity & make the guacamole a little bit creamier

for a chunkier texture, don't mash the avocadoes to much

and cut your tomatoes bigger

if tomatoes aren't in season, you can always use cherry or grape

tomatoes, more often than not, they tend to be sweeter and

because they're already small, you can just cut then in quarters

so it will be easier and quicker
