Learn how to make easy guacamole by following our simple video guide. Fresh homemade guacamole is one of the best uses for ripe avocados.
The key is using ripe avocadoes – not too soft and not too hard.
Prepare three avocados by de-stoning, removing from the shell and slicing. Put the slices in a large bowl. Mash with a fork, until almost all the avocado is smooth, leaving a few chunkier pieces for texture.
Finely chop half a red onion and a bunch of coriander, stalks and leaves, and add to the bowl.
Squeeze in the juice of 1 lime by hand, place one hand underneath the lime to catch any pips that fall out.
You can also also add 1 small chopped red chilli or 1 small firm tomato, very finely chopped.
Season with salt and pepper, mix and serve with tortilla chips.
