Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 whole Hass avocados
- 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 0.25 cup Red onion
- 1 whole Jalapeño
- 1 clove Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 whole Tomato (optional)
Instructions
Start by halving the avocados and removing the pits. Scoop the flesh into a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Finely chop the fresh cilantro and add it to the bowl with the avocados.
Dice the red onion into small pieces and add it to the bowl.
If you prefer a bit of heat, finely chop the jalapeño (remove the seeds for less spice) and add it to the mixture.
Mince the garlic clove and add it into the bowl.
Squeeze fresh lime juice over the ingredients and sprinkle in the salt and ground black pepper.
Using a fork or potato masher, gently mash the ingredients together until you achieve your desired guacamole consistency (chunky or smooth).
If using tomato, dice it finely, and fold it into the guacamole for added texture and flavor.
Taste the guacamole and adjust the seasoning with more salt or lime juice if necessary.
Serve immediately with tortilla chips or as a topping for your favorite dish. Store any leftovers in an airtight container with plastic wrap pressed against the surface to prevent browning.
