Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 whole ripe avocados
- 1 whole lime
- 1 whole roma tomato
- 0.25 cup (finely chopped) red onion
- 0.25 cup (chopped) fresh cilantro
- 1 whole (seeded and finely minced) jalapeño
- 1 teaspoon (minced) chipotle pepper in adobo sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.75 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon smoked paprika
Instructions
Start by halving the avocados and removing the pits. Scoop out the avocado flesh into a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Cut the lime in half and squeeze its juice over the avocados to prevent browning and add freshness.
Mash the avocados with a fork until you reach your desired consistency. For a chunkier guacamole, leave some pieces intact; for a smoother guacamole, mash thoroughly.
Dice the roma tomato and add it to the bowl with the avocado.
Finely chop the red onion and cilantro and add them to the bowl.
Seed and finely mince the jalapeño and add it to the guacamole. Adjust the quantity of jalapeño based on your spice preference.
Stir in the minced chipotle pepper in adobo sauce for a smoky, southwest flavor.
Sprinkle in the ground cumin, kosher salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Mix everything together gently but thoroughly to ensure even seasoning.
Taste the guacamole and adjust the seasoning with additional salt, lime juice, or spices if needed.
Serve immediately with tortilla chips, fresh veggies, or as a topping for tacos and burritos!
