Calories: 36kcal
Ingredients
- 2 ripe avocados
- 1/2 red onion diced
- 1/2 jalapeno deseeded and diced
- 1 lime
- 1 tbsp fresh cilantro chopped
- salt to taste
- 2 tbsp chopped tomatoes, for garnishing optional
Instructions
- Scoop the avocado flesh into a molcajete or medium bowl. Add the lime and salt and mash with a fork until it reaches your desired consistency.
- Add the remaining ingredients and mix well. Check for seasoning and add more lime or salt if needed. Serve immediately and enjoy.
Notes
- Guacamole is best when you serve it immediately but if you need to make it ahead of time, place the avocado pits in the guacamole and lay a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface to prevent it from browning.
- I prefer a chunkier texture but if you like it smooth, mash it for a few extra seconds. If serving a large crowd, I recommend serving it chunky. If they like it smoother they can always mash it themselves.
- Like it extra spicy? Use serrano peppers instead of jalapenos.
- Traditional guacamole is made with very few ingredients but feel free to include diced tomatoes, roasted corn, pumpkin seeds, crab, or cotija cheese.
