Really good, authentic, and fresh guacamole <\/span><\/strong>is one of my favorite foods! While I enjoy eating it after it is freshly made at a Mexican restaurant, I love it so much that I’d rather make my own homemade guacamole<\/strong> any time I want it (which is often). This recipe is so good it will quickly become a favorite due to how delicious it is and how simple it is to make. You can have this ready to enjoy in about 5 minutes! It’s perfect as a dip with chips, <\/span>with all kinds of Tex Mex dishes like my steak fajitas<\/a> and even as a topping on a simple salad or grilled meat. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

How to Pick the Best Avocados <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of the keys to great guacamole is fresh, delicious avocados. Years ago, I asked the produce manager at my local grocery store to help me select the very best avocadoes during a shopping trip. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s how he taught me to pick the best avocados, no matter the variety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Check the Navel <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The navel of the avocado is where the avocado separates from the stem of the avocado plant. When the avocado is ripe, the covering of the navel will easily pop off of the avocado just by lifting it gently with your thumb. If you have resistance when trying to check the navel, then the avocado isn’t ripe. Move along to another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Feel It <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Place the avocado in the palm of your hand and then gently feel the avocado with the other hand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
