Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces avocados (ripe)
- 3 pieces garlic cloves
- 1 piece lime (juiced)
- 0.25 cup red onion (finely chopped)
- 0.25 cup cilantro (chopped)
- 1 piece jalapeño (finely diced, optional)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a medium-sized bowl.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves. Add the minced garlic to the bowl with the avocado.
Juice the lime and pour the fresh lime juice over the avocado and garlic. This helps to prevent the avocado from browning and adds a tangy flavor.
Using a fork, mash the avocados until creamy but still slightly chunky, blending in the garlic and lime juice as you mash.
Stir in the finely chopped red onion, cilantro, and diced jalapeño (if desired) until evenly combined.
Add the salt and ground black pepper, adjusting the seasoning to taste.
Serve immediately with tortilla chips, or cover tightly with plastic wrap (pressing it directly against the surface of the guacamole to avoid oxidation) and refrigerate until ready to serve.
