I have a medium-sized stone mortar and pestle that I bought from Costco for about $15 several years ago. It is so worth it because I use it to make guacamole at least once a week. I highly recommend getting one. But if you don’t have one you can easily make your guacamole in a bowl and use a fork to mash the avocados and a spoon to mix the ingredients together.
Directions:
Cut open your avocados, remove the pits, and use a spoon to scoop out the avocado into your mortar or bowl. Use the pestle or a fork to mash up the avocado. You can mash it up into a creamy smooth mash, if that’s how you like your guacamole. I prefer mine a little less smooth with chunks of avocado in it.
Add in the lime juice, garlic salt, and salt and stir to combine.
Then you have to taste it to see if it needs more lime juice, garlic salt, or salt.
If the taste is to your liking, you can go ahead and eat it with chips, or on nachos, or tacos, or however you want it.
Or you can get a little crazy and add more ingredients to it. Some of my favorites include: a jalapeño or Serrano pepper for heat, diced purple onion, chopped cilantro, and diced tomatoes. If I’m serving it to all of my kids, I stick to the basic version because I have some picky eaters. But if it’s just my husband and me, we put it all in–the spicier the better!
