Primary Ingredients
- 3 ripe avocados

- 3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 jalapeno pepper, seeds removed and finely diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 lime, juiced
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
- Prepare Avocados: Slice the avocados in half, carefully remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl.
- Mash Avocados: Using a fork, mash the avocado to your preferred consistency, either chunky or smooth.
- Add Ingredients: Add the finely diced onion, diced tomatoes, chopped cilantro, minced garlic, jalapeno, lime juice, and sea salt to the mashed avocado. Stir thoroughly to combine all flavors evenly.
- Adjust Seasoning: Taste the guacamole and adjust with extra salt or lime juice if desired to enhance the flavor.
- Serve: Serve immediately with tortilla chips or use as a topping for tacos, burritos, or salads.
Notes
- Use ripe avocados for the best creamy texture and flavor.
- Remove jalapeno seeds to reduce heat; leave some seeds in if you prefer spicier guacamole.
- For extra zest, you can add a pinch of ground cumin or a dash of hot sauce.
- Guacamole is best served fresh but can be stored in an airtight container with plastic wrap pressed directly on the surface to minimize browning for up to 1 day.
- If fresh lime is unavailable, bottled lime juice can be used, but fresh lime is recommended for optimal flavor.
