Method

  1. 1

    Halve and pit the avocados.

  2. 2

    Score the avocado flesh in a criss-cross pattern without cutting through the skin.

  3. 3

    Scoop out the flesh of one half with a large spoon and place in mixing bowl.

  4. 4

    Add the lime juice and stir to evenly coat the avocados.

  5. 5

    Stir in the pico de gallo, garlic, oil, jalapeño, salt, red pepper, and black pepper, mashing and tossing the avocado pieces until thoroughly mixed.

  6. 6

    Scoop out the remaining avocado chunks and gently mix and toss in the larger pieces. The guacamole is the right consistency when more large pieces than mashed parts remain.

  7. 7

    Garnish with a sprig of cilantro.
