Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces ripe avocados
- 1 piece lime
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 cups onion
- 2 tablespoons cilantro
- 1 piece jalapeño pepper
- 1 piece tomato
- 1 clove garlic (optional)
Instructions
Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Mash the avocados gently with a fork until you achieve your desired texture (chunky or smooth).
Roll the lime on a cutting board to release its juices, then cut it in half. Squeeze the juice from one half over the mashed avocado to prevent browning and to add flavor.
Add the salt and mix gently to combine.
Finely dice the onion, cilantro, and jalapeño pepper (remove seeds for less heat) and stir them into the avocado mixture.
Chop the tomato into small pieces and gently fold it into the guacamole.
If using garlic, mince it finely and mix it into the guacamole.
Taste and adjust seasoning by adding more salt or lime juice if needed.
Serve immediately with tortilla chips, as a topping for tacos, or alongside any of your favorite dishes.
