Garlic Guacamole With Tomatoes

5 from 2 votes

This 10-minute garlic guacamole recipe is made with avocadoes, tomatoes, lime, salt, pepper, and the secret ingredient: mashed garlic.

Servings:

Crush fresh garlic cloves with salt using a mortar and pestle. It should form a paste. See note 5.
Cut the avocado and remove the seed. Scoop out the avocado flesh.
Add the crushed garlic paste to the avocado. Mash together. Squeeze the limes into the avocado. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Dice the tomato into small chunks. Add tomato to the avocado mixture. Mix well.

Use a garlic press in lieu of a mortar and pestle to crush the fresh garlic.
Omit the tomatoes if desired.
Add some freshly chopped cilantro if desired.
Make it spicy. Finely chop a jalapeno. When mashing the garlic, add the chopped jalapeno and mash the garlic and jalapeno together into a paste. Add the mashed garlic and jalapeno to the avocadoes.
Crush the garlic to a pulp with some salt. I recommend crushing the garlic with a mortar and pestle or using a handheld garlic crusher. I don't recommend chopping the garlic or using garlic from a jar. You need the garlic in a paste so it disperses evenly throughout the avocado. Minced garlic will give the guacamole landmines of potent garlic- not what we want!
