Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 3 pieces Ripe avocados Choose ones that yield slightly to pressure for maximum creaminess.
  • 2 tablespoons Lime juice Adds a zesty kick and prevents browning.
  • 1/2 cup Red onion Can swap in green onion for a milder taste.
  • 1/4 cup Fresh cilantro Brings brightness to the dip; can omit if not a fan.
  • 1 piece Jalapeño Add for heat; adjust based on preference.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Essential for flavor.
  • 1 medium Tomato Optional; adds sweetness and texture.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Cut the ripe avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the green goodness into a mixing bowl. Mash them with a fork or masher until you reach your desired consistency—smooth or chunky.
  2. Squeeze fresh lime juice over the mashed avocados to brighten the flavor and keep your guacamole from turning brown.
  3. Finely chop the red onion, jalapeño, and tomato. Add them to the bowl along with chopped cilantro.
  4. Sprinkle in some salt and mix everything together, tasting as you go to adjust salt and lime juice to your liking.
  5. Taste the guacamole and adjust heat and tanginess by adding more jalapeño or lime juice as necessary.
  6. For immediate serving, transfer to a serving bowl. If making ahead, cover the surface with plastic wrap to minimize browning and refrigerate.

Notes

Use super ripe avocados for best results. To maintain color, cover with lime juice and use plastic wrap directly on the guacamole when storing. Customize with spices like cumin or smoked paprika. Fresh lime juice is key for the best flavor.
