Guacamole is a classic dish that's always a hit at parties, with its vibrant colors, creamy texture, and perfect balance of flavors. While it’s usually made by hand with a mortar and pestle, using a food processor takes this avocado dip to the next level—super smooth, perfectly blended, and ready in no time! Whether you’re serving it with tortilla chips, on tacos, or as a topping for your favorite dishes, this guacamole will be your go-to recipe for easy, delicious results every time.

Ingredients:

• 3 ripe avocados, pitted and peeled
• 1 small onion, roughly chopped
• 1 small tomato, deseeded and chopped
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice (about half a lime)
• 1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves (plus extra for garnish)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 small jalapeño (optional, for heat), seeds removed and roughly chopped

Instructions:

1. Prep the Ingredients:

   • Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into the food processor. Add the onion, tomato, garlic, lime juice, cilantro, salt, pepper, and jalapeño (if using).

2. Blend in the Food Processor:

   • Pulse the food processor a few times to start breaking down the ingredients. Once it’s started to blend, run the processor continuously for about 15-20 seconds, or until everything is smooth and well-combined. If you prefer a chunkier guacamole, pulse just a few more times until you reach your desired texture.

3. Taste and Adjust:

   • Give your guacamole a quick taste test. If you want it tangier, add a bit more lime juice. If it needs more heat, throw in a pinch of chili powder or another slice of jalapeño. Adjust the salt and pepper as needed.

4. Serve:

   • Transfer the guacamole to a bowl and garnish with additional fresh cilantro leaves. Serve immediately with tortilla chips, fresh veggies, or your favorite Mexican dish.

Conclusion:

Using a food processor to make guacamole not only saves time but also gives you a creamy, perfectly blended dip in just a few minutes. It’s perfect for parties, snacks, or even as a healthy addition to your weekly meal prep. Simple, fresh ingredients combined with the power of your food processor make this guacamole a surefire winner every time!
