Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2–3 ripe avocados
  • 1–2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
  • 2 tablespoons diced red onion
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Optional Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1 small jalapeño or chili, finely chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Avocados: Slice ripe avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash with a fork or potato masher to your preferred consistency, whether smooth or chunky.
  2. Add Fresh Ingredients: Immediately mix in fresh lime juice to prevent browning. Fold in chopped red onion, minced garlic, and cilantro. Add diced tomatoes and jalapeños if using.
  3. Season to Taste: Gradually sprinkle salt and pepper, tasting as you go, until the flavors balance perfectly. Adjust lime juice or spice levels to your preference.
  4. Let it Rest: Allow the guacamole to sit for 10-15 minutes to let the flavors meld together, enhancing each bite.

Notes

  • Pick ripe avocados that yield to gentle pressure but aren’t mushy for the best texture.
  • Use fresh lime juice rather than bottled for optimal brightness and flavor.
  • Don’t over-mash; leaving chunks adds texture and visual appeal.
  • Add salt gradually to avoid overpowering the natural flavors.
  • Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface to prevent browning caused by air.
