Dani Spies: Hey guys, I am Dani Spies and I am going to show you how to make the Green Goddess of Mexican menus, Guacamole. This is a quick and simple favorite that takes no time to throw together. So, now I have got all my ingredients prepped and ready to go, this is the real easy part. I am just going to grab everything bring it in to the bowl and start my Guacamole. Starting with my garlic, next we have got the scallions, my jalapeños, you need to give a pinch of salt right now, my avocados are coming next.
Now, this is how you will know you have a ripe avocado, you are going to do the press test, just got to take your finger and push right into avocado and you wanted to have a little give, this avocado is perfect. If it is hard and it does not give at all then it is probably not ripened up and you will need another day or two and if it's is really soft and mushy, or you poke a hole through it, might be a little overripe. Now I am just going to take my fork and start mashing up those avocados, just want to break them down so that they are creamy, consistency and texture comes out and you do not want to make it really, really smooth, you would like to have some chunks in your Guacamole, that is the way I like it.
So, let me go ahead and bring this together and as I mash it, all of the ingredients are coming together. You see the consistency that I have here, it's nice it's all mashed together, but it's little chunky so I am going to stop right there because it's exactly how I like it. Then squeeze the juice from half of a lime right into my Guacamole and last but not least my cilantro. Then I will give the one last stir and we are ready to go, our Guacamole is done.
Okay, let's go ahead and plate this up. I like to garnish my guacamole with a few tomatoes and tortilla chips. So, sprinkle a few tomatoes right on the top here, pop in a few tortilla chips and voila! Look at how gorgeous that is. Now there you have it, my quick and simple Guacamole that is packed with flavor. Now get out there and give it a try. I am Dani Spies and I will see you next time.
