]]> Guacamole is one of the most in vogue dips out there right now. This avocado-based treat is so simple, however, it’s way too easy to find guacamole that has been made into something that is far away from what it should be.

These tips will help you avoid mistakes that will ruin your next batch of guacamole.

Don’t Use Garlic

Let us repeat: do not use garlic! It might seem tempting to add this ingredient to guacamole, but it will absolutely overwhelm the flavor of the dip and make it nearly impossible to eat. Just say no to garlic in guac.

🥑Guacamole🥑 ➡ 4 avocadi piccoli maturi ➡ 2 scalogni piccoli ➡ 2 lime piccoli ➡ 7-8 datterini ➡ 3-4 cucchiai di olio EVO ➡ Sale q. b ➡ Qualche goccia di tabasco 1⃣ In una ciotola schiacciare con una forchetta gli avocado maturi (o frullare!) 2⃣ Aggiungere lo scalogno tagliato finemente, i datterini a cubetti, il succo di lime, l'olio e qualche goccia di tabasco. Mescolare tutto!! 3⃣ Aggiustare di sale 4⃣ #pronto🎉 Attenzione ⚠ la guacamole é una salsa molto grassa ed a elevata densità calorica (anche se si tratta di grassi buoni benefici per la salute). Usarla con parsimonia 😅 #guacamole #avocado #mexico #food #foodlovers #cibobuono #dieta #spuntino #aperitivo #dieta #dietasana #veg #vegan #vegetarian #alimentazione #nutrizione #nutrizionista #lucca #viareggio

Let Avocado Be the Star

The principal ingredient in guacamole is avocado, and this is for an important reason. The delicious, creamy texture and flavorful nature of guacamole are meant to be put on display in guacamole, so don’t over-add other ingredients like chiles or onions and make it disappear from the center stage.

Don’t Forget to Salt

Have you ever tried guacamole that tasted bland for some reason? The most likely explanation for this is a lack of salt. It’s important to add a little bit of salt to guacamole to enhance its flavor and make it pop.

Here are three ways in which limes are utilized in Mexican gastronomy.

Taco Garnish

If you are served a plate of tacos in Mexico, odds are that you will receive a heap of lime slices along with them. It’s common to squeeze lime juice on top of all kinds of tacos, including those served al pastor, with steak, and with carnitas.

I finally learned how to make cochinita pibil tacos! 👏🌮👏 Have you tried this traditional Mexican pulled pork before? It’s surprisingly simple to make with just 5 ingredients, and packs the yummiest blend of earthy, citrusy, zesty flavors.⁣ ⁣ Bonus?! It’s extra quick and easy to make in the Instant Pot (Or Crock-Pot). And it tastes amazing on everything from tacos to burritos, nachos, quesadillas and more. You’ve gotta try it! 🙌⁣ ⁣ Here’s the full recipe (clickable link in profile): https://www.gimmesomeoven.com/cochinita-pibil/⁣ ⁣ #gimmesomeoven #cochinitapibil #tacos #mexicanfood #buzzfeast #buzzfeedfood #eeeeats #f52gram #feedfeed #foodandwine #foodblogfeed #foodgawker #goodmoodfood #huffpostfood #onmyplate #instantpot #crockpot

Lime Paletas

Paletas are the Mexican version of a popsicle. One of the most popular types of paletas that are enjoyed in Mexico is the lime paleta, which is a mixture of water, lime juice, and sugar frozen onto a stick. They are perfect for hot days.

Drink Staple

If you have tried any sort of Mexican beverage, odds are that it contained lime. From margaritas to Jarritos, many drinks that are beloved in Mexico either contain lime or are served garnished with a slice of the little green fruit.
