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
- Prepare the Avocados: Cut each avocado in half and carefully remove the pit. Scoop out the flesh into a mixing bowl.
- Mash the Avocado: Using a fork or potato masher, mash the avocado to your desired consistency—either chunky or smooth.
- 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.
- 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.
