Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 2 to 3 ripe avocados, soft but not mushy
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, finely chopped
  • 1 small jalapeño pepper, seeded and finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
  • 1 small garlic clove, minced
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Avocados: Cut the ripe avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl. Use a fork or potato masher to gently mash, leaving some chunks for texture.
  2. Add Fresh Ingredients: Finely chop the red onion, jalapeño, and cilantro, then add them to the bowl for fresh vibrant flavor.
  3. Season and Mix: Pour in freshly squeezed lime juice, add minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix everything thoroughly but gently to combine all flavors.
  4. Taste and Adjust: Taste your guacamole and add more salt, lime juice, or jalapeño as needed to achieve your preferred balance of flavors.

Notes

  • Pick perfectly ripe avocados that yield slightly to gentle pressure but aren’t mushy.
  • Use fresh lime juice rather than bottled for best brightness and flavor.
  • Don’t over-mix to maintain chunkiness and appealing texture.
  • Press plastic wrap directly onto the guacamole surface to prevent browning.
  • Prepare guacamole just before serving for optimal freshness.
