Guacamole Ingredients
- 3 ripe avocados
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice (about 1 lime)
- ¼ cup finely chopped red onion
- 1 small jalapeño pepper, seeded and minced (use more for extra heat)
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
- ½ teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
Instructions
- Prep the Avocados: Cut avocados in half, remove pits, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl. Mash with a fork until mostly smooth but slightly chunky to retain texture.
- Add Fresh Ingredients: Stir in the finely chopped red onion, minced jalapeño, and chopped cilantro, ensuring even distribution.
- Season: Add fresh lime juice and salt to the mixture. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
- Taste and Adjust: Taste the guacamole and adjust the lime juice, salt, or jalapeño according to your preferred flavor and heat level.
- Serve: Serve immediately with tortilla chips or use as a topping for tacos, burrito bowls, or grilled meats to enhance your dish.
Notes
- For extra heat, leave the jalapeño seeds in or add more jalapeño.
- Use ripe avocados for the creamiest texture and best flavor.
- To keep guacamole from browning, cover tightly with plastic wrap and squeeze the wrap directly on the surface of the guacamole.
- This guacamole is best consumed fresh but can be stored in the fridge for up to 1 day.
- Adjust salt and lime juice to balance the flavors to your taste.
