I don't like guacamole to compete with the other dishes when preparing a Mexican feast. My tamales, beans, rice, etc. don't like the competition if the guacamole has too many ingredients; trying to steal the limelight. This is a condiment that I can throw together with very few ingredients, substituting as necessary. No chunky guacamole for me, this is creamy, delicious and simple! Ingredients:
2 ripe avocados, peeled and pitted |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
fresh ground pepper |
1/4-1/3 cup sour cream (read *note) or 1/4-1/3 cup plain nonfat yogurt (read *note) |
1 lime, juice of |
Directions:
1. *Note: My husband however insists on using homemade mayonnaise when he prepares guacamole. I felt obligated to point that out.
2. In serving bowl, juice the lime.
3. Scoop the avocado into the bowl with the lime and lightly mash the ingredients together to stop the avocados from turning brown.
4. Next add the salt, a few dashes of pepper and the sour cream, mashing the avocado mixture with fork until very smooth. Adjust seasoning and add more lime juice if necessary.
5. Cover bowl well and refrigerate at least one hour.
6. Guacamole is best eaten within a day. Leftover guacamole doesn't exist in our household.
7. Yield: approximately 1 cup.
