Ingredients
Scale
- 3 ripe avocados
- ½ small yellow onion, finely diced
- 2 Roma tomatoes, diced
- 3 tablespoons fresh cilantro, finely chopped
- 1 jalapeño pepper, seeds removed and finely diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced (optional)
- 1 lime, juiced
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
- Prepare the avocados: Slice each avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl. Use a fork to mash them to your desired consistency—either chunky or smooth.
- Chop and prepare the ingredients: Finely dice the onion, tomatoes, and jalapeño. If using garlic, mince it finely. Chop the cilantro into small pieces for even distribution.
- Mix everything together: Add the diced onion, tomatoes, jalapeño, cilantro, and garlic to the mashed avocados. Squeeze fresh lime juice over the mixture and sprinkle in the sea salt. Stir gently until all ingredients are well combined.
- Adjust to taste: Taste the guacamole and adjust the seasonings if needed. Add more lime juice for brightness, salt for flavor balance, or jalapeño for additional heat.
- Serve and enjoy: Transfer the guacamole to a serving bowl and serve immediately with tortilla chips, tacos, or as a topping for your favorite dishes.
Notes
- For a smoother guacamole, mash the avocados more thoroughly or blend them with a food processor. If you prefer a chunkier texture, leave some larger avocado pieces. To add a unique twist, mix in diced mango, crumbled feta, or pomegranate seeds for extra flavor and texture.
