Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 whole ripe avocados
- 1 whole lime
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons cilantro leaves
- 1 whole jalapeño pepper
- 0.25 cup red onion
- 1 whole Roma tomato
- 1 clove garlic
Instructions
Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a medium mixing bowl.
Mash the avocados gently with a fork until they are mostly smooth but still slightly chunky for texture.
Juice the lime and add the juice to the avocado. Stir to combine and prevent browning.
Finely chop the cilantro leaves and add them to the bowl.
Remove the seeds and finely dice the jalapeño pepper. Add to the bowl for a bit of heat. Adjust quantity to taste if you prefer spicier guacamole.
Finely dice the red onion and add it to the mixture.
Remove the seeds from the Roma tomato, finely dice it, and fold it into the guacamole.
Grate or finely mince the garlic clove, then stir it into the mixture.
Add the salt and gently mix all ingredients until well-combined.
Taste and adjust seasoning as preferred (a pinch more salt or lime juice if needed).
Serve immediately with tortilla chips, or cover tightly with plastic wrap directly on the surface of the guacamole to prevent browning and refrigerate until ready to serve.
