It\u2019s a long, long road to guacamole and there are many variations of the dish on the way\u2014most of them loaded with fat. Following the traditional recipe I have shown here, I have added some suggestions for reducing the fat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Makes 2 Cups
4 ripe avocados, peeled, and mashed with a fork
1 small tomato, chopped
1 tablespoon minced onion
1 clove garlic, juice only
1\u20132 serranos, seeded and minced
2 teaspoons cilantro leaves, finely chopped
Lime or lemon juice, to taste
Salt and pepper to taste<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mix all ingredients in a bowl. This mixture should have some texture. If a processor is used, care must be taken to
keep mixture from becoming too smooth. Never use a blender.The addition of 1 teaspoon of FRUIT FRESH\u00ae
(ascorbic acid) will allow you to make this several hours ahead of serving time without fear of it turning black on
top; cover closely (no air space) with Saran\u00ae wrap; otherwise, make it at the last minute. Serve with toasted tortilla chips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using a tablespoon, insert spoon between peel and meat.Work spoon to other side; scoop out entire half; dip avocado quickly into a solution of water and ascorbic acid (a commercial preparation such as Fruit Fresh\u00ae) or wipe it with lemon juice to prevent darkening.
