Ingredients
Guacamole Ingredients
- 3 ripe avocados
- 1 medium tomato, finely diced
- 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
- 1 small jalapeño, seeded and finely minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Prepare Avocados: Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a medium mixing bowl. Use a fork to roughly mash the avocados, leaving some chunks for texture.
- Add Fresh Vegetables: Add the finely diced tomato, chopped red onion, and minced jalapeño to the mashed avocado. Stir gently to combine without overly mashing the ingredients.
- Season the Guacamole: Add the fresh lime juice, chopped cilantro, salt, and black pepper to the mixture. Stir everything together until evenly distributed.
- Adjust to Taste: Taste your guacamole and adjust seasoning by adding more lime juice, salt, or jalapeño as desired.
- Serve: Transfer the guacamole to a serving bowl and serve immediately with tortilla chips or use as a topping for your favorite Mexican dishes.
Notes
- For a creamier guacamole, mash the avocados more thoroughly.
- To prevent browning, cover the guacamole with plastic wrap pressed directly onto the surface and refrigerate if not serving immediately.
- Adjust jalapeño quantity based on your spice preference.
- Add a small pinch of cumin for a smoky flavor variation.
- If you like, include diced garlic or a dash of hot sauce for extra kick.
