Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2–3 ripe avocados (soft, slightly yielding)
  • 1–2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 1/4 cup finely diced red onion
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 small jalapeño, minced (adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 cup diced ripe tomatoes
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Avocados: Slice the ripe avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl. Use a fork or potato masher to mash to your desired consistency—either smooth or slightly chunky.
  2. Add the Fresh Ingredients: Gently fold in the finely diced red onion, chopped cilantro, diced tomatoes, and minced jalapeño. These add texture and bursts of flavor to the guacamole.
  3. Season and Flavor: Pour in freshly squeezed lime juice and sprinkle with salt. The lime juice brightens the flavors and helps prevent browning, while salt enhances the natural sweetness of the avocados.
  4. Taste and Adjust: Give your guacamole a quick taste test, and add more salt, lime juice, or jalapeño if needed to customize the flavor to your liking.
  5. Serve Fresh: Serve immediately with crunchy tortilla chips, fresh vegetable sticks, or alongside your favorite Mexican dishes for a delicious snack or appetizer.

Notes

  • Use perfectly ripe avocados that yield slightly when pressed for the creamiest texture.
  • Always use fresh lime juice, not bottled, for authentic zesty flavor.
  • Chop onions and tomatoes finely to preserve the creamy consistency.
  • Prevent browning by pressing plastic wrap onto the surface or storing with the pit in the bowl.
  • Adjust heat by removing jalapeño seeds or substituting with milder peppers.
  • Variations include chunky style (less mashed), adding diced mango or pineapple, garlic for extra flavor, or stirring in Greek yogurt for creaminess.
  • To keep it vegan and allergy-friendly, stick to the base ingredients only.
