Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 3 ripe avocados (slightly soft to gentle pressure)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons finely diced red onion
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves
  • 1 small jalapeño pepper, minced (seeds optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Optional Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup diced tomato
  • 1/4 cup diced mango (for a tropical twist)
  • Pinch of cayenne pepper or serrano pepper (for more heat)
  • 1 clove garlic, freshly minced (for garlic infusion)
  • 1 tablespoon coconut cream (for dairy-free creaminess)

Instructions

  1. Prep Your Ingredients: Finely dice the red onion, chop the cilantro leaves, and mince the jalapeño. Juice the limes and set all ingredients aside to keep fresh and ready for mixing.
  2. Mash the Avocados: Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a medium bowl. Mash gently with a fork to keep some chunks for texture, or mash thoroughly for a creamier consistency.
  3. Combine and Season: Add the diced onion, chopped cilantro, minced jalapeño, salt, and pepper to the mashed avocados. Pour in the fresh lime juice, then stir gently but thoroughly to combine all flavors evenly.
  4. Taste and Adjust: Taste your guacamole and add more salt, lime juice, or jalapeño as needed to achieve the perfect balance of flavor and heat.
  5. Optional Tomato Addition: Carefully fold in diced tomatoes to add sweetness and color while avoiding making the guacamole watery.

Notes

  • Choose ripe avocados that are soft but not overly mushy for the best creamy texture.
  • Use freshly squeezed lime juice for brightness; bottled lime juice can mute flavors.
  • Soak diced onions in cold water for 10 minutes if you prefer a milder onion flavor.
  • Let guacamole rest in the fridge for 10-15 minutes to allow flavors to meld before serving.
  • Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of guacamole when storing to prevent browning.
