Every girl needs a few go-to recipes that can be made at a moment’s notice. One of mine is guacamole — it’s simple, practically effortless and absolutely delicious. I usually keep avocados and the other ingredients around, so this also doesn’t leave me scrambling {there’s nothing worse}.
The Perfect Guacamole
2 avocados
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon lime juice, freshly squeezed
1/4 cup red onion, minced
2 serrano chiles {seeds removed! and minced}
2 tablespoons cilantro, finely chopped
Cut the avocados in half, remove the seed and scoop out the avocado into a bowl {any bowl will do, but as guac enthusiasts we have a molcajete — I love ours and totally recommend getting one}. Use the pestle, or fork, to mash the avocado. Sprinkle with salt and lime juice to keep the avocados from browning. Then add the pepper, red onion, cilantro and chiles. Mix together and voilà!
This avocado tool from OXO is my favorite.
Serve with chips {I warm mine in the oven for just a few minutes to get them toasty} and dig in! It’s easiest to pour the chips into an oven-safe dish like this one, heat, and then serve on a trivet.
