Guacamole
- Prepare the Avocados:
- Slice the avocados in half lengthwise.
- Carefully use a chef’s knife to remove the pits: tap the blade into the pit, twist gently, and lift it out.
- Scoop the avocado flesh into a mixing bowl using a spoon.
- Mash and Mix:
- Mash the avocado with a fork until it reaches your desired consistency (chunky or smooth).
- Stir in the finely chopped onion, cilantro, oregano, and basil until evenly mixed.
- Season to Taste:
- Add freshly squeezed lime juice, salt, and pepper. Adjust seasoning to your liking.
- Serve or Store:
- Serve immediately with tortilla chips, fresh veggies, or as a topping.
- If storing, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the guacamole to prevent browning. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
