Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large Hass avocados
- 1 medium (juiced) Lime
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 cup (finely chopped) Red onion
- 3 tablespoons (finely chopped) Cilantro
- 1 small (finely diced, seeds removed if desired) Jalapeño pepper
- 1 clove (minced) Garlic
- 2 small (deseeded and diced) Roma tomatoes
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground cumin (optional)
Instructions
Cut the avocados in half lengthwise, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Use a fork or potato masher to gently mash the avocados. Leave some chunks for texture, if desired.
Add the lime juice and salt to the mashed avocados and mix well to combine. This helps to brighten the flavor and slow browning.
Stir in the finely chopped red onion, cilantro, jalapeño, and minced garlic until evenly distributed.
Gently fold in the diced tomatoes to avoid over-mixing and breaking them down too much.
If using ground cumin, sprinkle it over the mixture and stir to incorporate for an added depth of flavor.
Taste the guacamole and adjust seasoning with extra lime juice or salt as needed.
Serve immediately with tortilla chips, as a topping for tacos, or spread on toast. To store, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the guacamole to minimize air exposure and refrigerate for up to one day.
