    What makes guacamole the best?

    While basic guacamole is made with mashed avocado, the best recipes will add additional ingredients, such as chopped tomatoes and onion, to take it over the top when it comes to flavor and texture.

    I like that a good guacamole has the perfect texture and flavor beyond just avocado.

    Have you tried my Homemade Adobo Seasoning?

    Made with chili powder and paprika, that versatile seasoning blend is bold, savory, and somewhat spicy. That homemade adobo seasoning would go great with this guacamole.

    Sea Salt, rather than basic table salt, gives this recipe the perfect salty bite. You can find sea salt here.

    Tips for making the best homemade guacamole.

    Avocados are the base of this recipe which is why using the perfect avocado is essential. Select avocados that are slightly soft to the touch without being mushy. If your avocado is too hard it well be difficult to mash or if too soft your guacamole will not have a good texture or flavor.

    More helpful tips for you.

    1. To mash your avocado you can use a fork or potato masher.
    2. For a more chunky guacamole, leave part of the avocado out of the mashing and add them to the guacamole diced instead.
    3. Overmashing the guacamole can make it mushy and harder to enjoy.
    4. Because avocados can differ in size, the exact amount of guacamole that you will yield can differ from mine. For more guacamole simply use larger avocados.
    5. The heat in this guacamole is highly customizable to your likings. For less heat simply omit the jalapeño while for more heat you can add some red pepper flakes, hot sauce, or additional jalapeño.
    6. Arguably, one of the best methods for keeping guacamole fresher longer it by adding up to half inch over water over it after you have placed your leftovers into an airtight container (and refrigerate it). You can then pour the water off before serving.

    How to Store Guacamole

    Guacamole is best when served fresh before the avocados become oxidized turning it brown. While we have added lime juice to help slow this down, you can try storing your guacamole refrigerated in an airtight container with a small amount of water on top (and removing it before serving). When properly stored in an airtight container, guacamole can keep up to a couple of days refrigerated .
