Equipment

  • Food Processor

Ingredients
  

  • 3 avocados ripe
  • 3 limes juiced
  • 3 cloves garlic (optional)
  • dash salt
  • dash pepper
  • 1 large heirloom tomato quartered
  • 1/4 red onion quartered
  • 2 jalapeños quartered

Instructions
 

  • Add avocados, lime juice, garlic, salt, pepper, and paprika to a food processor. Process for 2 whole minutes, or until completely smooth.
    Make sure to scrape the sides occasionally and to get the avocados as puréed as possible.
    Taste at this stage as well and make sure that the avocados, lime, and spices are in the correct ratio. Once you add the tomatoes and onions, there's no going back! You can stir in more salt and pepper, but you can't purée again without starting a second batch!
  • Add tomatoes, onion, and jalapeños. Pulse 3-5 times, or until barely chopped.
    The goal is to keep some chunkiness to the guacamole. You're looking to roughly chop them without pulverizing them. So don't overdo it here!
  • Serve chilled.
