Scale

Guacamole Ingredients

  • 4 large ripe avocados
  • 1 small roma tomato, inside pits removed and chopped
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped red onion
  • 1 small jalapeño, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely minced
  • 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
  • 2 small limes, juiced
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the avocados: Cut the avocados in half and remove the pits. Scoop the avocado flesh into a large mixing bowl. Use a potato masher or fork to mash the avocados to your desired consistency, whether chunky or ultra smooth.
  2. Prepare the tomato: Slice the roma tomato in half and use a spoon to scoop out the inner watery section with pits, leaving mostly the firm outer portion. Chop the prepared tomato and add it to the bowl with the avocado.
  3. Add remaining ingredients: Add the finely chopped red onion, finely chopped jalapeño, minced garlic, chopped cilantro, freshly squeezed lime juice, and salt and pepper to the bowl with the avocado and tomato.
  4. Mix and season: Stir all ingredients together thoroughly to fully combine. Taste the guacamole and adjust the seasoning by adding more salt and pepper if desired.
  5. Serve and enjoy: Serve the guacamole immediately with tortilla chips or your preferred accompaniment.

Notes

  • Use ripe avocados for the best creamy texture—ripe avocados yield slightly when gently pressed.
  • Removing the inner tomato pits reduces excess moisture, ensuring the guacamole isn’t watery.
  • Adjust the amount of jalapeño depending on your heat preference.
  • Fresh lime juice not only adds flavor but also helps prevent browning.
  • Guacamole is best served fresh but can be covered tightly and refrigerated for up to a day.
