Ingredients:
- 3 ripe Hass avocados
- 1 finely chopped Roma tomato
- 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 Jalapeño pepper, finely chopped (seeds removed for less heat)
- 2 tablespoons of freshly squeezed lime juice
- 1 teaspoon of salt (or to taste)
Instructions:
- Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop out the flesh into a mixing bowl.
- Using a fork, mash the avocados to your desired consistency — chunky or smooth.
- Add the chopped tomato, onion, cilantro, Jalapeño, and lime juice to the mashed avocado.
- Mix everything together gently, being careful not to mash the tomatoes.
- Season with salt, tasting and adjusting as necessary.
- If not serving immediately, cover with plastic wrap pressed directly onto the surface of the guacamole to prevent oxidation (browning).
- Serve with tortilla chips, or as a condiment to your favorite Mexican dishes.
Tips:
- For optimal flavor, use ripe avocados that yield to gentle pressure.
- Customize your guacamole by adding garlic, extra Jalapeño, or a dash of ground cumin.
- To keep the guacamole green, add the avocado pits back into the bowl until you’re ready to serve.
