Ingredients
Guacamole Ingredients
- 3 ripe avocados
- ⅓ cup red onion, diced
- 1 medium tomato, seeded and diced
- 1 small jalapeño pepper, diced
- ⅓ cup cilantro, finely chopped, plus more for serving
- 2 limes, juiced
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt, or more to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the avocados: Cut the ripe avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a medium bowl.
- Mash the avocado: Using a fork or potato masher, gently mash the avocados until you achieve your desired consistency, whether chunky or smooth.
- Add fresh ingredients: Stir in the diced red onion, diced tomato, and diced jalapeño pepper to the mashed avocado.
- Season and add herbs: Mix in the finely chopped cilantro, lime juice, and kosher salt. Stir everything together until combined.
- Taste and adjust: Taste the guacamole and add more salt or lime juice if needed to suit your flavor preference.
- Serve: Garnish with additional cilantro if desired and serve immediately with tortilla chips or as a topping.
Notes
- For a milder guacamole, remove the seeds from the jalapeño before dicing.
- Make sure the avocados are ripe for the best flavor and texture.
- To prevent browning, cover with plastic wrap directly on the surface or add extra lime juice.
- This guacamole is best served fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day.
- Feel free to customize by adding garlic, cumin, or diced red bell pepper.
