Guacamole Ingredients
- 2 ripe avocados (about 400g)
- 2 tbsp fresh lime juice (30ml)
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- ¼ cup finely diced red onion (40g)
- ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro (15g)
- 1 small jalapeño, finely diced (optional)
- ½ tsp salt (2.5g)
- Prepare Avocados: Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl.
- Mash Avocados: Mash the avocados to your desired creaminess using a fork or potato masher, ensuring a smooth texture without large chunks unless preferred.
- Combine Ingredients: Stir in the lime juice, minced garlic, diced red onion, chopped cilantro, jalapeño (if using), and salt until all ingredients are evenly combined.
- Adjust Seasoning: Taste the guacamole and adjust the salt or lime juice as needed to suit your flavor preferences before transferring it to a serving bowl.
- Serve: Garnish with additional cilantro or diced jalapeño if desired, and serve immediately with tortilla chips or use as a topping for tacos.
Notes
- For extra creaminess, choose ripe avocados that yield to gentle pressure.
- To reduce heat, remove jalapeño seeds before dicing or omit entirely.
- Serve immediately to avoid browning; store leftovers tightly wrapped with plastic wrap pressed onto the surface and refrigerate.
- Lime juice helps prevent oxidation and adds bright flavor.
