Ingredient List
- 3 ripe large avocados, pitted, peeled and mashed
- 1 1/2 cups finely chopped tomatoes (about 2 medium)
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
- 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon from 1 jar Mezco™ Savory & Zesty Spice Blend
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Tortilla chips, if desired
Preparation
- In medium bowl, mix together all ingredients except tortilla chips. Serve with tortilla chips.
Tips
- If your avocados are too hard and unripe, let them stand at room temperature for a few days to ripen. Speed ripening by placing the avocados in a paper bag.
- Skip the tortilla chips, and serve guacamole with cut-up bell pepper, cherry tomatoes or zucchini.
- Adding fresh lime juice helps to prevent the guacamole from browning but also adds a bright, fresh flavor. Add the lime juice to the avocado mixture as soon as possible to keep your guacamole looking fresh!
