Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces ripe avocados
- 1 piece lime
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 piece small red onion
- 6 pieces cherry tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
- 1 piece jalapeño
- 1 clove garlic
- 0.25 teaspoons ground cumin (optional)
Instructions
Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Slice the lime in half and squeeze its juice over the avocados to prevent browning and to enhance flavor.
Sprinkle the salt over the avocados.
Using a fork, mash the avocados to your desired consistency—chunky or smooth.
Finely dice the red onion, cherry tomatoes, and jalapeño (remove seeds for less heat, if desired). Add them to the bowl with the avocados.
Chop the fresh cilantro and mince the garlic clove. Stir both into the mixture.
If desired, add the ground cumin for extra depth of flavor.
Taste the guacamole and adjust the salt or lime juice if necessary.
Serve immediately with tortilla chips, as a topping for tacos, or alongside your favorite dishes.
