Authentic Mexican Guacamole Recipe - Best Ever Guacamole (NO TOMATOES)

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.

Add 3 medium sized tomatillos, 2 jalapeños, half an onion, and 2 cloves of garlic to a dry cast iron pan over medium heat.

Char the vegetables on all sides, flipping every so often until the skin has blackened and the veggies are cooked through, roughly 20 minutes.

Keep the garlic furthest away from the center of the pan to prevent it from getting too dark.

Remove the charred vegetables from the heat and trim off the root of the onion and the stems of the peppers.

Add the charred vegetables to a blender and blend until broken up but still a little chunky.

In a bowl, add the flesh of 2 large ripe avocados, season with a few pinches of salt and pepper, and add the juice of half a lime.

Drizzle in roughly 2 tbsp of olive oil and mash the avocados with a fork or potato masher until creamy but not completely smooth.

Pour in the pureed roasted veggies followed by half a raw onion finely diced and a big handful of finely chopped cilantro.

Mix everything together, taste, and adjust the seasoning based on your preferences.
