Ingredients
Guacamole Ingredients
- 3 ripe avocados
- ½ cup red onion, finely chopped
- 1 jalapeno, seeded and finely chopped
- 2 Roma tomatoes, seeded and finely diced
- ½ cup cilantro, finely chopped
- ½ teaspoon salt
- Juice of 1 lime
Instructions
- Prepare the avocados: Slice the avocados in half and carefully remove the pits. Scoop the avocado flesh into a bowl, then use a potato masher or fork to mash it until you reach your preferred consistency—smooth or chunky.
- Add chopped ingredients: To the mashed avocado, add the finely chopped red onion, seeded and chopped jalapeno, diced Roma tomatoes, and chopped cilantro. These fresh ingredients add crunch, flavor, and color to your guacamole.
- Season and mix: Sprinkle in ½ teaspoon of salt and squeeze the juice of one lime over the mixture. Stir everything together gently to combine all the flavors without over-mixing, keeping some texture in the dip.
- Serve immediately: Serve your simple guacamole fresh with tortilla chips, as a topping for tacos, or alongside your favorite Mexican dishes.
Notes
- Use ripe avocados for the best creamy texture; they should yield slightly to gentle pressure.
- Adjust the amount of jalapeno to your spice preference or omit for a milder dip.
- For extra zest, you can add a pinch of ground cumin or a dash of hot sauce.
- If not serving immediately, cover tightly with plastic wrap pressed directly onto the guacamole to prevent browning.
- Guacamole is best consumed within a few hours for maximum freshness and vibrant color.
