Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2–3 ripe avocados (yielding slightly to gentle pressure)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped red onion
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 small jalapeño, seeded and finely chopped (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 1 medium tomato, diced

Instructions

  1. Prep Your Ingredients: Finely chop the red onion, cilantro, jalapeño, and diced tomatoes. Squeeze fresh lime juice into a bowl to prevent the avocado from browning while you prepare the other ingredients.
  2. Mash the Avocado: Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Using a fork or potato masher, gently mash the avocado to your desired consistency, whether smooth or slightly chunky.
  3. Mix in the Flavor: Fold in the chopped red onion, cilantro, jalapeño (if using), and diced tomatoes. Pour in the fresh lime juice and sprinkle salt to taste. Stir gently until all ingredients are well combined but still retain some texture.
  4. Taste and Adjust: Taste your guacamole and adjust by adding more salt, lime juice, or jalapeño according to your preference. The goal is to balance brightness, spice, and creaminess perfectly.

Notes

  • Use fresh limes rather than bottled lime juice to preserve brightness and flavor.
  • Choose ripe avocados that are slightly soft but not mushy for the best texture.
  • Prepare guacamole close to serving time and keep refrigerated to maintain freshness.
  • Press plastic wrap directly onto the guacamole surface to minimize browning.
  • Avoid over-mashing to keep some avocado chunks for more interesting texture.
