Ingredients
- 3 pieces ripe avocados
- 1 piece (juiced) lime
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 cup (finely chopped) red onion
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) fresh cilantro
- 1 piece (seeded and finely chopped) jalapeño
- 1 small (diced) tomato
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 clove (minced) garlic (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Halve the avocados and remove the pits. Use a spoon to scoop the avocado flesh into a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Step 2
Mash the avocados with a fork or potato masher to your desired consistency—smooth or chunky.
Step 3
Add the lime juice and salt to the bowl and stir to combine. The lime juice enhances flavor and prevents browning.
Step 4
Stir in the finely chopped red onion, chopped cilantro, and diced tomato. If using garlic, add it at this step.
Step 5
Fold in the seeded and finely chopped jalapeño for a bit of heat. Adjust the amount based on your spice preference.
Step 6
Season with black pepper and give the guacamole a final mix.
Step 7
Taste test and adjust seasoning as needed. Add more lime juice, salt, or cilantro to suit your preference.
Step 8
Serve immediately with tortilla chips or as a topping for tacos, burritos, or nachos. To store, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface to prevent browning, and refrigerate for up to 1 day.
