Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 ripe avocados
- 2 whole lime
- 1 roma tomato
- 1 small red onion
- 1 jalapeño pepper
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro leaves
- 1 garlic clove
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Cut the avocados in half, remove the seeds, and scoop the flesh into a medium mixing bowl.
Juice the limes directly over the avocados to prevent browning and add a tangy flavor.
Mash the avocado with a fork or potato masher to your desired consistency—chunky or smooth.
Dice the roma tomato and small red onion into small, even pieces and fold them into the avocado mixture.
Finely chop the jalapeño pepper, removing seeds and ribs for less heat if desired, and stir it in.
Roughly chop the cilantro leaves and mix them into the guacamole.
Mince the garlic clove finely and combine it with the rest of the ingredients.
Season the guacamole with salt, ground cumin, and black pepper, tasting as you go to adjust seasoning.
Cover the guacamole with plastic wrap pressed directly onto the surface to prevent air exposure, and let it sit for 5–10 minutes for the flavors to meld.
Serve immediately with tortilla chips or as a topping for tacos, burritos, or any favorite Cinco de Mayo dishes.
