Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 whole ripe avocados
- 1 whole jalapeño pepper
- 0.25 cup red onion
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 whole Roma tomato
- 0.25 teaspoons crushed red chili flakes
Instructions
Slice the avocados in half lengthwise, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a medium mixing bowl.
Finely dice the jalapeño pepper, removing the seeds for less heat if desired. Add it to the bowl with the avocado.
Chop the red onion finely until you have 1/4 cup, and add it to the mix.
Roughly chop the cilantro, measuring out 2 tablespoons, and stir it into the bowl.
Juice one or two limes until you have 2 tablespoons of fresh lime juice. Pour the juice over the avocado mixture to prevent browning and add flavor.
Add 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/4 teaspoon of ground cumin, and 1 clove of garlic minced or grated. Stir well to combine.
Dice the Roma tomato and gently fold it into the guacamole, taking care not to mash it too much.
Add 1/4 teaspoon of crushed red chili flakes for an extra spicy touch, and mix until incorporated.
Taste the guacamole and adjust seasonings if necessary—add more lime juice, salt, or chili flakes as desired.
Serve immediately with tortilla chips, tacos, or your favorite Mexican dishes. For best results, enjoy fresh.
