Guacamole Ingredients
- 3 large ripe avocados
- 1/2 cup diced red onion
- 1/2 cup diced tomato
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 small jalapeño pepper, finely diced with seeds removed
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tbsp lime juice
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Mash the Avocados: Add the ripe avocados to a large bowl. Using a potato masher or a large fork, mash them until the texture is nearly smooth but still slightly chunky for optimum texture.
- Add Remaining Ingredients: Incorporate the diced red onion, diced tomato, chopped cilantro, finely diced jalapeño (with seeds removed for mild heat), minced garlic, fresh lime juice, salt, and black pepper into the mashed avocados.
- Combine Thoroughly: Mix all ingredients together well until evenly combined, ensuring the flavors meld smoothly throughout the guacamole.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve immediately as a dip or topping with tortilla chips, tacos, or your favorite dishes. Optionally, refrigerate briefly to chill and allow flavors to develop further.
Notes
- Remove the seeds from the jalapeño to reduce the heat level.
- For best flavor, use ripe avocados that yield slightly when gently pressed.
- Lime juice not only adds flavor but also helps prevent the guacamole from browning.
- This guacamole is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day.
