How To Make the Best Guac. Period.

 

Servings: 4 | Prep Time: 8 minutes | Ingredients: 7

 
 
 

When I explain the simplicity of this recipe, people seem let down. As if I’m keeping a secret ingredient from them, privately wishing their guac to be inferior. And while that does sound like me, I pinky promise that this is all there is to it.

 
 
 
 

The. Best.
Guac. Period.

 

Ingredients:

  • 3 avocados

  • 3 fat scallions

  • juice of one lime

  • half a bunch of cilantro

  • big pinch of cumin

  • 1 jalapeno

  • salt

 
 

Directions:

  1. Scoop out all your avocado and throw into in your bowl.

  2. Chop your cilantro and scallions and toss them in as well.

  3. Sprinkle in your cumin, a big pinch of Maldon salt, and lime juice.

  4. Chop your jalapeno finely, leaving as many or as few seeds as you like for heat.

  5. Roughly smash together with a fork, leaving big chunks and lumps.

 

Note: Serve with Trader Joe’s plantain chips as a deeply satisfying alternative to tortilla chips.

Double note: Sometimes I sub lemon for lime, and my brain explodes because on certain days, in certain lights, it’s better.
