Spicy Guacamole Fresco With Tomatoes And Homemade Seasonings
If you’re looking for an awesome guacamole recipe, this is it. Chunky, filled with veggies, and spiced with a homemade seasoning made from cumin, garlic, and cilantro, this is a hearty appetizer for your next party or back porch hang.
Ingredients
- 2 medium avocados, roughly chopped and very slightly mashed with a fork
- ½ red pepper, chopped
- 1 small tomato, chopped, with seeds and juices removed
- 1 tablespoon red onion, finely chopped
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 jalapeño pepper, chopped with seeds removed
- pinch of salt (plus more to taste)
- ¼ teaspoon cumin
- juice of ½ lime
- 2 tablespoon chopped cilantro
Instructions
- Prepare your avocados. Roughly chop them, then place in a bowel and very slightly mash them with a fork, but not too much – you want them to retain that chunky consistency.
- Combine your peppers, tomatoes, red onions, garlic, and jalapeños (if using). Add the avocado mixture and stir lightly until just combined.
- Add in your spices and lime juice and stir until evenly combined.
- Top with cilantro and fresh lime wedges.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- Cilantro is optional. If you're not a huge fan of spice or cilantro, feel free to omit them.
- Make it spicier. Make this spicy guacamole fresco with tomatoes even spicier by subbing out the jalapeños for habanero or serrano peppers.
- Make it less spicy. Omit the jalapenos and reduce the amount of garlic and cumin.
- How to store. To store, press the guacamole into an airtight container and add a layer of water to the top. When ready to serve, simply drain off the water and mix.
