We traditionally make guac with ripe avocados, chopped fresh cilantro, diced red onion, salt, and lime juice. I get avocados from Costco all the time. But what to do when you’re missing some key ingredients? I can’t keep a cilantro plant alive to save my life (or its life, come to that.) And I don’t usually have red onion or fresh limes about, either.
Guac is essentially ripe avocados mashed with seasonings and loosened with some citrus juice. Improvise.
