The secret to the best guacamole?…. 😱πŸ₯‘πŸ…

To have a good consistency…Remove the tomato seeds!!!!! You’ll find my recipe below which is a foolproof way to have the BEST guac πŸ₯‘

It keeps the guac thick, creamy, and scoopable instead of watery. Once you try it this way, there’s no going back.

What you’ll need:

πŸ₯‘4 ripe avocados
πŸ₯‘2 Roma tomatoes, seeded and diced
πŸ₯‘ ΒΌ cup finely diced red onion
πŸ₯‘ ΒΌ cup chopped fresh cilantro
πŸ₯‘ Juice of 1–2 limes
πŸ₯‘ 1 tsp salt (or to taste)

Halve the Roma tomatoes and scoop out the seeds. Dice the flesh. Then add avocados to a bowl and mash up. Stir in the tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Taste and adjust lime and salt as needed. Serve immediately with tortilla chips.

I like to reserve a few diced tomatoes, onions, and cilantro leaves to sprinkle on top for a restaurant-style presentation

SAVE so you can make on repeat✨πŸ₯‘
