Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large Avocados
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Red onion, finely diced
- 1 medium Tomato, finely diced
- 1 small Jalapeño, minced (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
Instructions
Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a large bowl.
Add the lime juice to the avocados to prevent browning and enhance flavor.
Mash the avocados with a fork or potato masher until you reach your desired consistency (smooth or chunky).
Sprinkle in the Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to evenly incorporate the spices.
Fold in the red onion, tomato, jalapeño (if using), and cilantro. Mix gently to distribute the ingredients evenly.
Taste the guacamole and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding more salt, lime juice, or Cajun seasoning to suit your preference.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface of the guacamole to prevent oxidation, and let it sit for 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve immediately with tortilla chips, veggie sticks, or as a topping for tacos, burgers, or grilled chicken.
