Padma's Recipes: Mexican

Guacamole / Avacado Dip

Guacamole dip is a dish made from Avacado and is a Mexican food. I have had this many times in Mexican restaurants and making this dip at home is very easy and can be done in just minute and also is no cook recipe. Here I have served with Blue Corn Chips which goes very well with it.

All you need is

Avacado – 3 riped ones

Red onion – 1 small or can use less as per your taste – chopped

Tomato – 1 deseeded and chopped fine

Serrano peppers – 2 deseeded and chopped fine or if u like a spicy touch then add chopped jalapenos

Salt as needed

Cilantro – very little – chopped

Lime juice – ½ tbsp. or more if needed as per your taste

Garlic powder – ½ tsp ( optional)

Cut avacados into half and slightly twist them and pull apart. Remove the pitt(seed) and using a spoon scoop out the pulp from the avacados and discard the skin. Collect them in a wide bowl or plate and using a fork press them to mash well. If you like it chunky then can leave out some pieces or mash finely. Since they are ripe you can do it in minutes. Next add all the remaining ingredients and mix well. Serve with your favourite chips.
