Ingredients
Guacamole Ingredients
- 3 ripe avocados
- ½ small yellow onion, finely diced
- 2 Roma tomatoes, diced
- 3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 jalapeño pepper, seeds removed and finely diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 lime, juiced
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
- Prepare the Avocados: Slice the avocados in half, carefully remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl.
- Mash the Avocados: Using a fork, mash the avocado to your preferred consistency, whether chunky or smooth.
- Combine Ingredients: Add the finely diced onion, diced tomatoes, chopped cilantro, minced garlic, jalapeño, lime juice, and sea salt to the mashed avocado. Stir everything together thoroughly.
- Adjust Seasoning: Taste the guacamole and add extra salt or lime juice if desired to enhance the flavors.
- Serve: Transfer the guacamole to a serving bowl and enjoy immediately with tortilla chips.
Notes
- For spicier guacamole, leave some jalapeño seeds or add more jalapeño.
- Use ripe avocados for the best texture and flavor; they yield slightly when gently pressed.
- To prevent browning, cover the guacamole tightly with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface, and refrigerate if not serving immediately.
- You can add a pinch of cumin or smoked paprika for a smoky twist.
- Serve fresh; guacamole is best enjoyed the day it is made.
