Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 3 ripe avocados, halved, pitted, and scooped
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
- 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro
- 1/2 cup diced ripe Roma or cherry tomatoes
- 1 small jalapeño, seeded and finely chopped (adjust to taste)
- Salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare Your Avocados: Halve the ripe avocados, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash gently with a fork, leaving some small chunks for texture.
- Add the Fresh Ingredients: Chop the red onion, tomatoes, jalapeño, and cilantro finely. Add these to the avocado base to bring freshness and crunch.
- Season it Right: Pour in fresh lime juice and sprinkle salt and pepper to taste. Mix thoroughly to combine all the flavors evenly.
- Taste and Adjust: Give it a quick taste and adjust ingredients as necessary—add more lime for tang, jalapeño for heat, or salt to enhance flavors.
- Serve Immediately: Guacamole is best enjoyed fresh, so dig in right away or cover tightly and refrigerate for up to a few hours.
Notes
- Choose ripe avocados that yield slightly to gentle pressure but are not mushy.
- Use freshly squeezed lime juice to brighten flavor and help prevent browning.
- Avoid over-mashing; leaving some avocado chunks creates a more interesting texture.
- Chill onions and tomatoes before adding to keep guacamole fresh longer.
- Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface before refrigerating to minimize oxidation and browning.
