The Best Homemade Guacamole
Ingredients:
3 ripe avocados
1/2 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
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions:
Prepare the Avocados: Slice each avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl. Mash with a fork to your preferred consistency—chunky or smooth.
Chop and Prepare Ingredients: Finely dice the onion, tomatoes, and jalapeño. Mince the garlic if using. Chop the cilantro.
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 well combined.
Adjust to Taste: Taste and adjust seasoning if needed—add more lime juice for brightness, salt for balance, or jalapeño for extra heat.
Serve and Enjoy: Transfer to a serving bowl and serve immediately with tortilla chips, tacos, or as a topping for grilled meats and salads.
Notes:
For a smoother guacamole, mash thoroughly or blend in a food processor.
To prevent browning, store leftovers with plastic wrap pressed directly onto the surface or add a thin layer of water on top (drain before serving).
For a fun twist, add diced mango, crumbled feta, or pomegranate seeds.
