Ingredients
Scale
Guacamole
- 3 avocados halved and peeled
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- ¼ teaspoon Kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon cumin
- ¼ cup onions finely chopped
- 3 tablespoons cilantro chopped
- 1 garlic clove minced
For Decorating and Serving
- Tortilla chips
- Sour cream
- Black olives
- Black beans
Instructions
- Mash the Avocados: Place the peeled and halved avocados along with lime juice in a large bowl. Using the back of a fork, mash them together until mostly smooth but still slightly chunky for texture.
- Season the Guacamole: Add kosher salt and cumin to the mashed avocado mixture and continue mashing to incorporate the spices evenly.
- Fold in Aromatics: Gently fold in the finely chopped onions, chopped cilantro, and minced garlic to combine all the flavors without over-mashing.
- Shape and Decorate: Spread the guacamole mixture into a rectangular shape on a serving dish. Decorate the top creatively with tortilla chips, dollops of sour cream, black olives, and black beans to create an eye-catching presentation.
- Serve Immediately: For the best experience, serve the guacamole right away to enjoy the fresh flavors and vibrant colors.
Notes
- Use very ripe avocados that yield slightly when squeezed to get the best texture and flavor.
- To store leftover guacamole, cover it tightly with plastic wrap pressed directly onto the surface to minimize browning.
- If browning occurs, scrape off the top layer before serving.
- Decorate with the toppings right before serving to maintain an appealing look and fresh taste.
