Classic Guacamole with Blue Corn Tortilla Chips
Ingredients
- 3 ripe avocados halved and pitted
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1/4 cup finely diced red onion
- 1 small jalapeno seeded and minced
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 small clove garlic minced
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt plus more to taste
- Blue corn tortilla chips for serving
Instructions
- Scoop the avocado flesh into a medium bowl and mash with a fork until mostly smooth with a few small chunks left.
- Add the lime juice right away and stir it through, it keeps the avocado from browning while you add everything else.
- Fold in the red onion, jalapeno, cilantro and garlic.
- Season with the salt, then taste, this is the step where most guacamole needs a second pinch.
- Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface if it needs to wait, and chill for up to 2 hours.
- Spoon into a bowl just before serving and set it into the board with the blue corn chips fanned around it.
Good to Know
No time to chill it? Skip the wait, guacamole is just as good fifteen minutes in as it is two hours in, it simply will not keep as long after.
