  • Total Time: 10 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Guacamole Ingredients

  • 2 ripe avocados
  • 2 teaspoons lime juice
  • 1/2 small red onion, finely diced
  • 1 small tomato, diced
  • 1/4 cup cilantro, finely chopped
  • Pinch of cayenne pepper (optional)
  • Fine sea salt, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Avocados: Cut each avocado in half and carefully remove the pit. Scoop out the flesh into a mixing bowl.
  2. Mash the Avocado: Using a fork or potato masher, mash the avocado to your desired consistency—either chunky or smooth.
  3. Add Remaining Ingredients: Add the lime juice, finely diced red onion, diced tomato, chopped cilantro, and a pinch of cayenne pepper if using. Mix all ingredients thoroughly.
  4. Season and Serve: Taste the guacamole and season with fine sea salt as desired. Serve immediately for the freshest flavor and best texture.

Notes

  • Use ripe but firm avocados for the best texture.
  • Add cayenne pepper sparingly to control the heat level.
  • To prevent browning, serve immediately or cover tightly with plastic wrap pressed against the surface and refrigerate.
  • Adjust lime juice to taste for acidity balance.
