Ingredients
Guacamole
- 3 ripe avocados
- 1 lime, juiced
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 tomato, diced
- 1-2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 jalapeño, finely chopped (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
To Serve
- Tortilla chips
Instructions
- Prepare Avocados: Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl.
- Mash Avocados: Mash the avocados with a fork until smooth or leave some chunks for texture.
- Add Ingredients: Add lime juice, finely chopped onion, diced tomato, minced garlic, chopped jalapeño if using, salt, and pepper to the mashed avocados. Mix until well combined.
- Season and Taste: Taste the guacamole and adjust the seasoning by adding more salt, pepper, or lime juice if desired.
- Serve: Serve the guacamole immediately with tortilla chips to enjoy the freshest flavors.
Notes
- For a spicier guacamole, increase the jalapeño or leave seeds in.
- Use fresh lime juice to prevent browning of the avocado.
- Serve immediately or cover tightly with plastic wrap pressed directly onto the surface to minimize air exposure and refrigerate if not serving right away.
- Fresh tomatoes and onions add texture and freshness; drain excess moisture if tomatoes are very watery.
