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.
