Ingredients
Guacamole Ingredients
- 8 ripe avocados
- 1 small red onion, diced
- 4 tomatoes, seeded and diced
- 3/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 jalapeño pepper, minced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- Juice of 2 limes
- 1/2 teaspoon coarse sea salt
- Tortilla chips (optional, for serving)
Instructions
- Prepare the Avocados: Slice the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl using a large spoon. Mash the avocado with a large fork, leaving it a little chunky for texture.
- Mix Ingredients: Add the diced red onion, diced tomatoes, chopped cilantro, minced jalapeño pepper, minced garlic, lime juice, and coarse sea salt to the bowl. Gently mix all the ingredients together using a spoon until well combined but not overly smooth.
- Serve: Serve the guacamole immediately in small bowls or family style. Enjoy it scooped with tortilla chips or used as a flavorful topping for grilled chicken or fish.
Notes
- Choose ripe avocados that yield slightly to gentle pressure for the best flavor and texture.
- Adjust the amount of jalapeño according to your preferred level of spiciness.
- For a smoother guacamole, mash the avocado more thoroughly.
- Serve immediately to prevent browning or cover tightly with plastic wrap pressed onto the surface to minimize oxidation.
- Fresh lime juice not only adds flavor but also helps keep the guacamole green.
