Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 whole ripe avocados
- 1 whole lime
- 0.5 teaspoons kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons red onion
- 2 tablespoons cilantro
- 1 small jalapeño (optional)
- 1 medium tomato (optional)
Instructions
Cut the avocados in half and remove the pits. Scoop out the avocado flesh into a medium mixing bowl.
Juice the lime and pour the juice over the avocados immediately to prevent browning and to add flavor.
Sprinkle the kosher salt over the avocados.
Using a fork, gently mash the avocados to your desired consistency. For a creamy guacamole, mash well; for a chunkier texture, leave some avocado pieces intact.
Finely dice the red onion and add it to the bowl.
Chop the cilantro finely and mix it into the guacamole.
If using jalapeño, finely chop it and add to the mixture for a bit of heat. Remove seeds for a milder flavor.
If using a tomato, remove seeds and dice it finely. Gently fold the tomato into the guacamole.
Taste the guacamole and adjust seasoning with additional salt or lime juice as needed.
Serve immediately with tortilla chips, or use as a topping for tacos, burritos, or salads.
