Scale

Guacamole Ingredients

  • 4 large ripe avocados
  • 1 small roma tomato, inside pits removed and chopped
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped red onion
  • 1 small jalapeño, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely minced
  • 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
  • 2 small limes, juiced
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Avocados: Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop out the flesh into a large mixing bowl. Use a potato masher or fork to mash to your desired consistency, whether chunky or smooth.
  2. Prep the Vegetables: Slice the tomato in half and scoop out the inner seeds to use mostly the flesh. Chop the tomato and add it to the bowl along with finely chopped red onion, jalapeño, minced garlic, chopped cilantro, and fresh lime juice.
  3. Combine Ingredients: Mix all the ingredients thoroughly until well combined, ensuring every bite captures the balance of flavors.
  4. Adjust Seasoning: Taste the guacamole and add more salt or pepper as needed to suit your preference for flavor and seasoning intensity.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Serve the guacamole immediately with tortilla chips or use as a topping or side for your favorite dishes.

Notes

  • Use ripe yet firm avocados for the best texture and flavor.
  • Removing the tomato seeds helps prevent excess moisture and keeps guacamole from becoming watery.
  • Adjust jalapeño quantity to control the heat level according to your taste.
  • To prevent browning, cover guacamole tightly with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface before refrigerating.
  • Fresh lime juice not only adds flavor but also helps maintain the vibrant green color.
