Ingredients
Guacamole Ingredients
- 3 large ripe avocados (about 23 ounces)
- ¼ cup fresh lime juice
- 2 large cloves garlic (minced)
- ½ tsp sea salt (to taste)
- 1 cup fresh cilantro leaves (chopped and loosely packed)
- ½ cup red onion (finely chopped)
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes (chopped)
Instructions
- Prepare the Avocados: If your avocados are very firm, use a sharp knife to chop them into small chunks first. This makes them easier to mash evenly using a fork.
- Mash the Avocados: Using a fork, mash the chopped avocado chunks to your desired consistency, whether smooth or slightly chunky.
- Add Fresh Ingredients: Stir in the fresh lime juice, minced garlic, sea salt, chopped cilantro, finely chopped red onion, and chopped cherry tomatoes until well combined.
- Adjust Seasoning and Mix-ins: Taste the guacamole and adjust salt or lime juice as needed. You may also add optional ingredients such as jalapeño peppers, salsa, or sour cream for extra flavor.
- Serve or Store: Use the guacamole immediately as a dip with tortilla chips, or as a topping for tacos, burrito bowls, burgers, salads, tostadas, or grilled chicken. If storing, cover tightly with plastic wrap to minimize air exposure and refrigerate.
Notes
- If avocados are very firm, chopping before mashing helps achieve a better texture.
- Additions like jalapeño or sour cream can be incorporated for variation.
- Serve immediately for best freshness and flavor.
- Use fresh, ripe avocados for optimal taste and creaminess.
- Cover leftover guacamole with plastic wrap pressed down directly on the surface to prevent browning.
