My Holy Guacamole is exactly that kind of recipe. This is the first time I've ever made note of what went into it - I usually just eye ball it. It's a very forgiving recipe that you can adapt as you see fit. I have to say, though, it's pretty amazing just as written!
Ingredients:
- 1 medium tomato, seeds removed, chopped finely
- 2 - 3 shallots, chopped finely
- 1 jalapeno, seeds and ribs removed, chopped finely
- juice and zest of one (or two, depending how juicy the fruit is) lime
- 1 large handful of fresh cilantro leaves, chopped finely
- salt and black pepper, to taste
- 4 ripe Haas avocados
- Combine tomato, shallot, jalapeno, cilantro, and lime zest in a small bowl.
- Split avocados, remove pits, and scoop flesh in a medium bowl.
- Mash avocados to your desired texture with a potato masher or fork. I keep mine a little chunky.
- Immediately squeeze lime juice over avocado then mix gently. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Fold in veggies, mixing gently to combine but being careful not to mash the avocados any further.
- Serve immediately with tortilla or pita chips, veggies, etc.
