Maestro Kaplan's (almost) Famous Guacamole Recipe

ripe avocados

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: frozen avocado

Avocado oil is healthier for cooking, while frozen avocado is budget-friendly.

lime juice

💰Cheaper: lemon juice

Lemon juice is a more affordable alternative.

cilantro

💰Cheaper: parsley

Parsley can be used as a budget-friendly herb substitute.

Use a three in one tool to split the avocado in two, tracing around the pit.

Remove the pit by hitting it and twisting with the tool.

Scoop out the avocado flesh using the third part of the tool into a mixing bowl.

Dice half a roma tomato, yielding about 1/4 cup.

Finely dice a quarter of a small red onion, about 1/4 cup.

Dice half of a jalapeño, about 1 tablespoon, and decide whether to leave the seeds in for more spice or cut them out.

Chop 1 tablespoon of cilantro after removing the stems.

Roll half a lime to make juicing easier, then extract 1 teaspoon of lime juice.

Sprinkle in 1/4 teaspoon of kosher salt.

Decide on the consistency of the guacamole: creamy or chunky, and mash with a fork to your preferred texture.

Taste the guacamole with chips and adjust the flavor by adding more salt, red onion, jalapeño, or lime juice as needed.
