Key ingredients to making perfect guacamole
Be sure to use RIPE avocados for a creamy texture
Red onion and jalapeño will help to give your guac extra spice
Freshly squeezed lime juice and fresh cilantro are important ingredients when trying to obtain the classic guacamole flavor profile
Adding a touch of cumin to your guac will help to create an extra special and elevated flavor
Keepin’ it green
Save one avocado pit and place it in your guac to prevent it from turning brown! Keeping a pit in your guacamole helps to keep it looking fresh and vibrant.
