Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces ripe avocados
- 1 piece lime
- 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.5 piece small onion
- 1 piece jalapeño pepper
- 2 tablespoons cilantro (fresh, chopped)
- 1 piece roma tomato
- 1 clove garlic (optional)
Instructions
Cut the avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a medium bowl.
Mash the avocados with a fork or potato masher until you achieve your desired consistency (chunky or smooth).
Roll the lime on your countertop to release the juices. Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice over the mashed avocados. Stir to combine.
Add the kosher salt to the avocado mixture and mix thoroughly.
Finely dice the onion and jalapeño pepper, making sure to remove the seeds from the jalapeño for less heat if desired.
Chop the cilantro and dice the roma tomato into small pieces.
Optional: Mince the garlic clove finely if you prefer a garlicky flavor.
Fold the onion, jalapeño, cilantro, and roma tomato into the avocado mixture. Add garlic at this point if desired.
Taste the guacamole and adjust with additional salt, lime juice, or jalapeño for heat.
Serve immediately with tortilla chips, or cover tightly with plastic wrap to prevent browning and refrigerate until ready to serve.
