My big sister introduced me to guacamole at a young age. I'm pretty sure every human being on the planet must love guacamole. It's perfect for fajita bowls, burritos, tacos, chips and salsa, avocado toast...

There are so many ways to make guacamole just as there are countless ways to make salsa. This is just a baseline for you to play with. Many people argue whether diced tomatos belong in guacamole, but I enjoy them, so I would recommend trying it at least once!

The musts are onion, cilantro, and lime juice for sure. But you can tweak the amounts and seasoning to your liking!

Tips

AVOCADOS: The best way to choose avocados from the grocery is to choose the ones that are still quite green and allow them to ripen over the course of a few days. Avocados bruise easily, so squeezing them to test for doneness will often brown them. If you are on a time crunch, however, you can select avocados that are a deep black/purple color. Check the circular stem nub at the top. If you can press it down easily, the avocado is ripe.
ADDITIONAL SEASONING: For more flavor to avocado toast, I recommend adding garlic powder, garlic salt, onion powder, or onion salt!

I also like to add Cumin. It has such a earthy flavor.
