Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large avocados
- 2 medium lime
- 2 tablespoons orange juice
- 1.5 tablespoons tequila (optional)
- 0.75 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup, finely diced red onion
- 1 medium, diced roma tomato
- 1 medium, finely minced jalapeño
- 2 tablespoons, chopped cilantro leaves
Instructions
Cut each avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a medium mixing bowl.
Using a fork or potato masher, gently mash the avocados until they reach your desired consistency (chunky or smooth).
Zest one of the limes, then juice both limes and add the zest and juice to the mashed avocado.
Add the orange juice, tequila (if using), salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to incorporate the flavors.
Stir in the finely diced red onion, diced roma tomato, minced jalapeño, and chopped cilantro leaves.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more lime juice, salt, or pepper to preference.
Transfer the guacamole to a serving dish, cover with plastic wrap (directly touching the surface to prevent browning), and let it sit for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve immediately with tortilla chips, fresh veggies, or as a topping for tacos or grilled meats.
