Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 large ripe avocados
- 1 Roma tomato, diced (optional)
- 1 jalapeño pepper, diced
- ¼ cup chopped cilantro
- ¼ small onion, finely diced
- ½ lime, juiced, plus more to taste
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the avocados: Cut the avocados in half and carefully remove the pits using a sharp knife. Scoop the avocado flesh out with a spoon and transfer it into a medium mixing bowl.
- Mash the avocado: Using a fork, potato masher, or molcajete, mash the avocado until you achieve your preferred texture—whether chunky or smooth.
- Combine the ingredients: Stir in the chopped cilantro, diced tomato, finely diced onion, lime juice, diced jalapeño, and kosher salt into the mashed avocado. Mix well to combine all the flavors.
- Adjust seasoning: Taste the guacamole and add more lime juice or salt as needed to balance the flavors to your liking.
Notes
- For a spicier guacamole, add more jalapeño or include the seeds.
- If you prefer a milder dip, omit the jalapeño entirely.
- To keep the guacamole from browning quickly, cover it tightly with plastic wrap, pressing the wrap directly onto the surface, and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- This guacamole is best served fresh within a few hours of preparation.
