The key, non-negotiable ingredient in guacamole is ripe avocado. This creamy fruit provides the magical texture for the dip. Along with avocado, other basic ingredients include:
-
Onions
-
Tomatoes
-
Fresh cilantro (coriander leaves)
-
Black pepper
-
Ground cumin
-
Lime juice

Salt
Traditionally, Mexicans used a mortar and pestle to make guacamole, resulting in a much smoother texture. Nowadays, we typically use a fork or a potato masher to mash the avocados and mix in the other ingredients using a spoon. Guacamole is incredibly versatile and can be enjoyed with chips, toast, fresh vegetables, deviled eggs, as a burger topping, sandwich spread, or even dolloped on creamy soups. Its irresistible flavor and nutritional value have made it popular worldwide! ️ 12345.
