Scale

Guacamole Ingredients

  • 3 ripe avocados
  • 1 Roma tomato, seeded and finely diced
  • 1/2 medium white onion, finely diced
  • 1/2 cup cilantro, finely chopped
  • 4 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely chopped
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Avocados: Cut the avocados in half lengthwise and remove the pits carefully. Using a spoon, scoop out the flesh into a medium-sized bowl with a flat bottom. Use a potato masher or fork to mash the avocados until you reach a chunky consistency, leaving some texture.
  2. Add Lime Juice: Squeeze fresh lime juice over the mashed avocados immediately. This not only adds flavor but also helps prevent the avocado from browning while you prepare the other ingredients.
  3. Mix in Vegetables and Seasoning: Add the finely diced tomato, white onion, jalapeno pepper, and chopped cilantro to the bowl. Season the mixture with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Gently stir everything together until just combined to retain the texture and freshness.
  4. Serve: Serve the guacamole immediately with tortilla chips, or use as a topping for your favorite Mexican dishes.

Notes

  • For extra heat, include the jalapeno seeds or add more jalapeno according to taste.
  • To keep guacamole bright green longer, cover tightly with plastic wrap pressed directly on the surface to minimize air exposure.
  • If you like a smoother texture, mash the avocados more thoroughly.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day for best freshness.
