To make guacamole, follow these simple steps using fresh ingredients:
Ingredients
- 3 ripe avocados
- ½ small yellow onion, finely diced
- 2 Roma tomatoes, diced (optional)
- 3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 jalapeño pepper, seeds removed and finely diced (optional)
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- Juice of 1 lime
- ½ teaspoon sea salt (adjust to taste)
Instructions
- Cut the avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl.
- Mash the avocado with a fork or potato masher to your preferred texture-chunky or smooth.
- Add the finely diced onion, tomatoes, cilantro, jalapeño, garlic, lime juice, and salt.
- Stir everything together gently.
- Taste and adjust salt or lime juice as needed.
- Serve immediately with tortilla chips or use as a topping for Mexican dishes.
Tips
- Use fresh limes rather than bottled lime juice for better flavor.
- To keep leftover guacamole green, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface and store in the fridge.
- You can omit tomatoes if preferred, or add variations like cumin, garlic powder, or diced mango for a twist
This recipe is quick, fresh, and flavorful, perfect for a snack or party appetizer
