Guacamole with tortilla chips, the heart of Mexican food, whether in salads or as a side, goes well with any party and can be quickly prepared with 6 ingredients readily available in your pantry.

It was initially quite difficult for me to identify ripe avocados as I was quite new to the fruit. Some are green in color, and some black. The best ripened avocados which are perfect to eat will be between a green and darkish green color and when you touch it, it would be soft and slightly squishy. Raw avocados can be ripened easily by storing in brown paper bags for 2 – 3 days, and ripened ones in a refrigerator.

The flesh of the avocado fruit quickly browns once cut open and exposed to air. An easy way to prevent oxidizing and to keep it fresh is by smearing a little lime juice over it.

Among different types of avocados, Hass varieties are the best for preparing guacamole. Freshly made guacamole can be stored by sealing with a plastic wrap or in an airtight container.

Prep time: 5 – 8 minutes
Serves: 4 – 5 servings

INGREDIENTS

• 2 Avocados
• ½ of red onion (finely chopped)
• ½ Jalapeno; finely chopped (optional)
• 2 – 4 tbsp Lime juice
• 4 tbsp Cilantro (finely chopped)
• Salt as required
• Tortilla chips

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Pit the avocados into a bowl spacious enough to mash them.
2. Add the remaining ingredients into the bowl and mash well with a masher or a fork.

Note:

1. Jalapenos are optional but if you are adding make sure it is finely chopped.
2. Tomatoes are also another optional ingredient.
