What Is Guacamole Seasoning Made Of?
To make this stellar seasoning, you’ll need to combine spices that are staples in Mexican cuisine like garlic, onion, cumin, coriander, red pepper flakes, and chili powder.
How To Make Guacamole Seasoning
Weigh your spices as described below and mix them together in a small bowl until fully combined.
Stir everything for a minimum of 1 minute to ensure the mixture is evenly combined.
You can also use a mason jar instead of a small bowl to combine your spices. One of these square mason jars is perfect for seasoning. Close the lid tightly and shake it for one minute. Ensure there is extra room in the jar so the spices can mix properly.
How Much Guacamole Seasoning To Use?
As a rule of thumb, use 1 teaspoon of this seasoning mix per whole avocado included in your guacamole. Of course, you can feel free to add a little more if you prefer.
What Can I Use Instead Of Lime In Guacamole?
You can substitute lime juice with vinegar. This works well for salad dressing, salsa, and guacamole recipes.
What Type Of Salt Is Best For Guacamole?
The best salt to use is kosher salt. The coarse texture of the kosher salt helps to create a paste-like consistency. Add the garlic, onion, salt, and half the cilantro and mash with a mortar and pestle. Alternatively, you can mince the ingredients and combine them in a bowl.
How To Store Your Guacamole Spice Mix
Store this guacamole spice in a glass jar and keep it in a dry and dark cabinet. Keep it away from direct sunlight and heat.
