Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole ripe avocados
- 1 whole lime
- 0.5 whole red onion
- 1 whole Roma tomato
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
- 1 whole jalapeño
- 1 whole garlic clove
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Cut the avocados in half lengthwise and remove the pits. Carefully scoop the flesh out into a mixing bowl using a spoon, but set the pits aside for later use.
Juice the lime and pour the juice over the avocado in the bowl to prevent browning.
Finely dice the red onion and Roma tomato and add them to the bowl.
Chop the cilantro leaves and add 2 tablespoons to the mixture.
Mince the jalapeño (remove seeds for less heat) and garlic clove, and add them to the bowl.
Add the ground cumin, salt, and black pepper to the mixture.
Mash the avocado with a fork or potato masher until it reaches your desired consistency. For a chunkier guacamole, leave some avocado pieces intact.
Stir all the ingredients together until well combined.
Transfer the guacamole to a serving bowl and press one or two saved avocado pits into the dip. These help delay oxidation and keep the guacamole fresher longer.
Serve immediately with tortilla chips, fresh vegetables, or use as a topping for tacos and other dishes.
