Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces ripe avocados
- 1 piece (juiced) lime
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 cup (finely chopped) red onion
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) fresh cilantro
- 1 piece (seeded and finely chopped) jalapeño
- 1 small (diced) tomato
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 clove (minced) garlic (optional)
Instructions
Halve the avocados and remove the pits. Use a spoon to scoop the avocado flesh into a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Mash the avocados with a fork or potato masher to your desired consistency—smooth or chunky.
Add the lime juice and salt to the bowl and stir to combine. The lime juice enhances flavor and prevents browning.
Stir in the finely chopped red onion, chopped cilantro, and diced tomato. If using garlic, add it at this step.
Fold in the seeded and finely chopped jalapeño for a bit of heat. Adjust the amount based on your spice preference.
Season with black pepper and give the guacamole a final mix.
Taste test and adjust seasoning as needed. Add more lime juice, salt, or cilantro to suit your preference.
Serve immediately with tortilla chips or as a topping for tacos, burritos, or nachos. To store, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface to prevent browning, and refrigerate for up to 1 day.
