Guacamole Guatemalteco - Guatémaltèque recipe

A traditional Guatemalan dish — Guacamole Guatemalteco keeps things clean and simple: ripe avocado mashed with fresh tomato, white onion, cilantro, and lime. No garlic, no heat for the timid — just the bright, honest flavors that make it the perfect topping for tostadas and the essential dip at every gathering. It is made fresh, always, and disappears fast.

Step by stepInstructions

  1. Scoop the avocado flesh into a bowl and mash it with a fork, leaving it a little chunky.
  2. Fold in the tomato, onion, cilantro, and chile, if using.
  3. Add the lime juice and salt, and stir gently to combine.
  4. Taste and adjust the lime and salt; the guacamole should be bright and well seasoned.
  5. Serve immediately with tostadas, tortilla chips, or as a topping for Guatemalan tostadas.

💡 Chef tips & storage

Keep the avocado chunks — smooth, pureed guacamole is not the Guatemalan way. Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface and refrigerate to slow browning.
