Guacamole Ingredients

  • 3 ripe avocados
  • 1/4 cup diced yellow onion (red onion works too)
  • 1 roma tomato, diced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 lime, juiced (about 2 tablespoons)
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt or flaky sea salt (more or less to taste)
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped cilantro leaves and stems
  • 1 jalapeno pepper, finely diced

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Avocados: Peel the avocados and place the flesh in a medium bowl. Using a fork, mash the avocados, leaving some chunks for texture and creaminess.
  2. Add Fresh Ingredients: Add the lime juice, diced yellow onion, diced roma tomato, minced garlic, kosher salt, finely chopped cilantro, and diced jalapeno to the mashed avocado. Mix gently to combine, maintaining a mixture that is both creamy and chunky.
  3. Taste and Adjust: Taste the guacamole and adjust the seasoning as needed by adding more salt, lime juice, or cilantro to suit your preference.
  4. Serve: Garnish with additional chopped cilantro if desired, and serve immediately with tortilla chips or as a condiment for your favorite dishes.

Notes

  • Nutrition information does not include tortilla chips.
  • Use ripe avocados that yield slightly to gentle pressure for the best texture and flavor.
  • For less heat, remove the jalapeno seeds before dicing.
  • Serve immediately for freshest flavor; to store, cover tightly with plastic wrap pressed onto the surface to prevent browning and refrigerate.
