Cooking Instructions
Step 1
[Let’s Make Guacamole!] Start by washing the avocados thoroughly. To prepare them, slice lengthwise around the pit, twist the halves to separate, and then gently remove the pit. For a tip on easily removing the avocado pit, check this link: @6981521. Using ripe avocados is key to achieving a smooth and delicious guacamole. 
Step 2
Once prepared, use a fork to mash the avocado in a bowl. Aim for a slightly chunky texture rather than a completely smooth paste; this adds to the delightful mouthfeel.
Step 3
For the salsa component, core the tomatoes and remove any seeds. We’ll only be using the flesh. Including the seeds can make the guacamole watery and dilute its flavor.
Step 4
Finely dice the prepared tomato flesh. Ensure the pieces are uniformly small for a pleasant texture.
Step 5
Add the finely diced tomatoes to the bowl with the mashed avocado. Now, incorporate all the guacamole seasonings: chopped onion, minced garlic, honey, lemon juice, pepper, basil (if using), and salt. The basil is optional but adds a lovely aromatic note if included.
Step 6
Gently mix all the ingredients together using a spoon or spatula until well combined. Your delicious guacamole, with its creamy avocado flavor and bright citrus notes, is ready! Serve generously with nacho chips.
Step 7
[Time to Make the Fresh Tomato Salsa!] Now, let’s create the vibrant tomato salsa. Prepare one ripe tomato (about 300g). The freshness of the tomato will significantly impact the salsa’s taste, so choose a good quality one. 
Step 8
Just like with the guacamole, core the tomato and finely dice it. Ensuring all ingredients are cut to a similar size helps them meld together beautifully in the salsa.
Step 9
In a clean bowl, combine the finely diced tomatoes with all the salsa seasoning ingredients: chopped onion, chopped green chili (adjust this based on how spicy you like it), chopped olives, basil (if using), olive oil, Tabasco sauce, honey, pepper, and lemon juice. If you enjoy more heat, feel free to add extra green chilies or Tabasco.
Step 10
Gently stir everything together until well mixed. Your refreshing, slightly spicy tomato salsa is now complete! Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
Step 11
Combining the rich, creamy guacamole with the bright, zesty, and subtly spicy tomato salsa, all scooped up with crunchy nacho chips, creates an absolutely irresistible combination! It’s perfect as a beer snack, for movie nights, or as a star appetizer at any party. Don’t miss out on making this delightful duo!
