Here’s a simple and delicious Guacamole recipe that’s fresh, creamy, and full of flavor. Perfect for dipping, spreading, or topping your favorite dishes!
Ingredients (Serves 4-6)
- 3 ripe avocados
- 1 lime (juiced)
- 1/2 tsp salt (or to taste)
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 cup (60g) finely diced red onion
- 1-2 jalapeños (seeded and finely diced, adjust to taste)
- 1/4 cup (10g) fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 large tomato (seeded and diced)
- Optional: 1 clove garlic (minced)
Instructions
1. Prepare the Avocados
- Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a medium bowl.
- Mash the avocado with a fork or potato masher until you reach your desired consistency (smooth or chunky).
2. Add Flavor
- Add the lime juice, salt, and black pepper to the mashed avocado. Mix well.
- Stir in the diced red onion, jalapeños, cilantro, and tomato. If using garlic, add it now.
- Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt, lime juice, or jalapeño as needed.
3. Serve
- Transfer the guacamole to a serving bowl.
- For extra freshness, garnish with additional cilantro or a slice of lime.
- Serve immediately with tortilla chips, tacos, or as a topping for your favorite dishes.
Tips
- Use ripe avocados for the best texture and flavor. They should yield slightly when pressed.
- To prevent browning, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the guacamole or add an extra squeeze of lime juice before storing.
- For a smoother guacamole, blend the ingredients in a food processor.
Enjoy your homemade guacamole! 🥑✨
