Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Avocados

  1. Cut and Scoop: Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a medium bowl.
  2. Mash: Use a fork or a potato masher to mash the avocados until they reach your desired consistency—chunky or smooth.

Step 2: Add the Creamy Base

  1. Mix in the Sour Cream or Greek Yogurt: Add the sour cream or Greek yogurt to the mashed avocados and stir until well blended. This step creates that signature creaminess.

Step 3: Build the Flavor

  1. Add Remaining Ingredients: Add the diced onion, tomato, garlic, lime juice, cilantro, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using).
  2. Combine: Stir everything together until well mixed, tasting to adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 4: Serve or Store

  1. Serve Immediately: For best flavor and color, serve immediately with tortilla chips, pita, or fresh veggies.
  2. To Store: Place plastic wrap directly on the surface of the guacamole to prevent browning, then cover tightly. Refrigerate for up to 1-2 days.

Tips for Perfect Guacamole

  1. Use Ripe Avocados: Look for avocados that give slightly to pressure. Overripe or underripe avocados can affect both the texture and flavor.
  2. Keep It Fresh: Lime juice not only adds flavor but also prevents browning. Placing plastic wrap directly on the surface helps as well.
  3. Customize the Heat: Add chopped jalapeño or serrano peppers if you prefer spicier guacamole.

Serving Ideas

  • As a Dip: Serve with tortilla chips, pita chips, or veggie sticks for a party favorite.
  • With Tacos: Add a dollop to tacos, burritos, or nachos for an extra layer of flavor.
  • As a Spread: Use it as a base for avocado toast or as a sandwich spread to elevate a simple lunch.
