Description

This guacamole is smooth, creamy, and packed with fresh, vibrant flavors in every bite. The buttery avocados blend perfectly with bright lime juice, juicy tomatoes, crisp onions, and a touch of cilantro for a refreshing homemade dip. Whether scooped up with crunchy tortilla chips or layered onto tacos and sandwiches, it adds a rich and satisfying taste that always disappears fast.


Ingredients

Scale
  • ripe 3 avocados
  • ½ small yellow onion, finely diced
  • 2 Roma tomatoes, diced
  • 3 tablespoons fresh cilantro, finely chopped
  • 1 jalapeno pepper, seeds removed and finely diced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt


Instructions

  1. Cut the avocados in half, take out the pit, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl.
  2. Using a fork, mash the avocado to your desired consistency, whether chunky or smooth.
  3. Incorporate the remaining ingredients and mix thoroughly. Taste and adjust with more salt or lime juice if necessary.
  4. Present the guacamole alongside tortilla chips for serving.

Notes

TECHNIQUE TIP: Use ripe avocados for a creamy texture and freshly squeezed lime juice for vibrant flavor.

STORAGE: Store leftover guacamole in an airtight container with a layer of lime juice or plastic wrap directly on the surface to prevent browning.

SUBSTITUTION: Swap yellow onion with red onion for a sharper taste, or use serrano pepper for added heat.
