Ingredients
Scale:
3 ripe avocados (preferably Hass)
2 fresh limes, juiced
1/4 cup finely chopped organic cilantro
1-2 serrano chili peppers, finely diced
1 clove garlic, minced (optional)
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
Homemade tortilla chips for serving
Fresh vegetable sticks (like carrots and cucumbers) for serving
Instructions
Begin by selecting the best avocados for guacamole; look for ones that yield slightly to pressure, indicating ripeness. Cut each avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl.
Using a fork or a potato masher, mash the avocados to your desired consistency—smooth or chunky.
Add the fresh lime juice immediately to prevent browning and enhance the creamy avocado dip's freshness.
Mix in the chopped organic cilantro, diced serrano chili peppers, minced garlic (if using), and sea salt. Stir until well combined.
Taste your Oaxaca Guacamole and adjust seasoning as necessary, adding more lime juice or salt if desired.
Transfer the guacamole to a serving bowl and cover it tightly with plastic wrap, pressing the wrap directly onto the surface of the guacamole.
Let the flavors meld for at least 30 minutes at room temperature before serving, or refrigerate if making in advance.
