Ingredients
  

  • 2 medium ripe avocados Use ripe but not overly soft avocados.
  • 1 small lime About 2 tablespoons fresh juice.
  • 1/4 cup finely diced red onion
  • 1 medium ripe tomato Seeds removed and diced (about 1/3 cup).
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 small jalapeño Seeded and finely minced (optional).
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt Or to taste.
  • 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper Or to taste.

Equipment

  • 1 medium mixing bowl
  • 1 fork or potato masher
  • 1 cutting board
  • 1 knife
  • 1 spoon

Method
 

  1. Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a medium mixing bowl.
  2. Mash the avocados gently with a fork or potato masher to your desired consistency (chunky or smooth).
  3. Add the lime juice, diced red onion, diced tomato, chopped cilantro, jalapeño (if using), salt, and pepper to the bowl.
  4. Stir gently until all ingredients are combined. Taste and adjust salt or lime juice as needed.
  5. Serve immediately with tortilla chips or as a topping for your favorite Mexican dishes.
  6. For best results, use ripe but not overly soft avocados. If not serving right away, press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the guacamole to minimize browning.
  7. Add a pinch of cumin or garlic for extra flavor if desired.

Notes

For best results, use ripe but not overly soft avocados. If not serving right away, press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the guacamole to minimize browning. Add a pinch of cumin or garlic for extra flavor if desired. Jalapeño adds mild heat; omit for a milder guacamole.
