Ah yes 🥑✨ — Hass avocados are creamy, buttery, and perfect for all sorts of dishes! Here’s a versatile guide with a classic recipe and a couple of tasty ideas.
Simple Guacamole (Classic Hass Avocado Recipe)
Ingredients (serves 2–4)
- 2 ripe Hass avocados
- 1 small lime, juiced
- ½ small red onion, finely diced
- 1 small tomato, seeded and diced (optional)
- 1–2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
- Salt & pepper to taste
- Optional: ½ jalapeño, finely diced, for heat
Instructions
- Prepare Avocados
- Cut avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop flesh into a bowl.
- Mash with a fork to your desired texture (smooth or chunky).
- Add Flavors
- Mix in lime juice, onion, garlic, tomato, cilantro, and jalapeño (if using).
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Serve
- Enjoy immediately with tortilla chips, tacos, salads, or toast.
- Optional: drizzle a little extra lime juice to prevent browning.
Other Quick Hass Avocado Ideas
- Avocado Toast: Mash avocado, season with salt, pepper, and chili flakes. Spread on toasted bread. Add a fried egg or smoked salmon if desired.
- Avocado Salad: Cube avocado and toss with cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
- Smoothie Boost: Blend ½ avocado with banana, spinach, milk, and honey for a creamy smoothie.
Pro Tip: Ripe Hass avocados yield slightly when pressed gently. If hard, let them ripen at room temp 2–3 days; to speed up, place in a paper bag with a banana.
I can also give a baked or grilled avocado recipe stuffed with shrimp, eggs, or cheese if you want a fancier dish.
