Print Save RateEquipment
- Mortar and Pestle (optional, but highly recommended)
- Citrus Squeezer (optional)
Ingredients
Tableside Guacamole
- ½ large tomato (globe, beefsteak, or slicing tomato)
- ¼ large red onion
- 2 large ripe haas avocados
- 1 tablespoon lime juice (½ lime = approx. 1 tablespoon juice)
- ¼ teaspoon cumin
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper (or more depending on desired spice level)
Optional Flavor-Boosting Add-ins
- ½ ounce fresh cilantro (stems and leaves, chopped)
- 2 whole jalapeno peppers (seeded and diced)
- 1 clove garlic (minced)
- ¼ cup fresh mango or pineapple (diced)
Instructions
- Start by dicing your tomato and red onion. If you're using any optional add-ins, prep them now, too.
- Add the diced onion, tomato, and salt (and any optional add-ins if using) to a mortar and use a pestle to mash, extracting the liquid and crushing into small, fine pieces.
- Add the avocado flesh to the mortar and use the pestle again to smash and integrate into the salted and crushed tomato and onion.
- Add the lime juice, black pepper, cumin, and cayenne pepper. Use a fork to stir until creamy and smooth. Serve immediately with tortilla chips.
Pro Tips
- This recipe is best with a mortar and pestle, but if you don’t have one, just get a little creative! You can use a sturdy bowl with a wooden spoon to mash.
- This guacamole is best enjoyed within 2 hours of preparing it, but if you need to stretch it out a little longer, place the avocado pits on top of the guac and add an extra squeeze of fresh lime juice.
