About this recipe

This recipe is full of benefits, and it is super easy to prepare. It has raw garlic, freshly squeezed lime juice, and salt. I learned about this way of making guacamole in an Authentic Mexican restaurant and loved it.

The server at this restaurant brought to our table a molcajete and started crushing the garlic and avocados in front of us. I loved the use of the traditional molcajete and how good it tasted. We ate it with homemade tortilla chips and a very good salsa verde.

What’s a molcajete?

A molcajete is the Mexican version of a mortar and pestle. It is usually made from lava rock and carved by hand. In a molcajete, you can prepare salsas and guacamoles, crush spices, or use them as a serving dish. Be sure to buy one made from lava rock and season it before using it the first time.

healthiest Guacamole ingredients

  • AVOCADOS Look for avocados that are ripe but firm to the touch. The better it is, the tastier your guacamole will be.
  • GARLIC Did you know that raw garlic is one of the best natural antibiotics? This is why I call this recipe the healthiest ever. It has all the benefits from the garlic, the avocado, and the vitamins from the lime juice.
  • LIME JUICE You can use lime or lemon juice, but I prefer lime juice for all Mexican recipes. I love that it is tangy and very acidic, and the flavor from the zest is simply the best.
  • SALT I usually use sea salt or kosher salt. I stay away from the classic table salt or salt with additives.

how to make it? two ways

MOLCAJETE. To make your guacamole on a molcajete, start crushing the garlic with the salt until you form a paste. In Spanish, we say molcajetear, which is the action of doing something in a molcajete. When the paste is formed, add the avocados and mash them until you have the right consistency. Squeeze a lime or two, mix, and taste.

If you don’t have this Mexican mortar and pestle, use a regular one or prepare it in a bowl.

BOWL. Peel and mince the garlic or press it. Set aside. Add the flesh of the avocados to a bowl and use a fork to mash them. Add the minced garlic and a good pinch of salt, and squeeze a lime or two. Taste and adjust if needed.

✎TIP 

If you are a bit worried about eating raw garlic, let it sit with the lime juice and salt before adding it to the mashed avocado. 

This will remove the sharp bite from it.
