Roberto Santibañez's Classic Guacamole | Genius Recipes

ripe avocados

🥗Healthier: avocado puree

💰Cheaper: frozen avocado

Frozen avocado can be more affordable and still nutritious.

lime juice

💰Cheaper: lemon juice

Lemon juice is often cheaper and can provide a similar tang.

cilantro

💰Cheaper: parsley

Parsley is a budget-friendly herb that can substitute cilantro.

Select ripe avocados that feel heavy and tender, but not mushy.

Chop cilantro, including the stems, as they add flavor.

Chop a jalapeño pepper without removing the seeds; adjust quantity based on desired spice level.

Combine chopped cilantro, jalapeño, and a tablespoon of onion in a bowl to create a paste, adding salt to help puree the mixture.

Use a fork to mash the avocado flesh in a mixing bowl, leaving some texture.

Add the paste mixture to the mashed avocado and mix gently to combine, being careful not to over-mix.

Add lime juice to taste, balancing the flavors without overpowering the avocado.
