Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Start by gathering all the ingredients. Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl.

  2. 2

    Chop the Vegetables

    Finely chop the tomato, red onion, cilantro, and jalapeño (remove seeds for less heat). If using garlic, mince it as well.

Mixing

  1. 3

    Mash the Avocados

    Using a fork or a potato masher, mash the avocado to your desired level of creaminess (smooth or chunky).

  2. 4

    Add Lime and Seasonings

    Squeeze the juice of the lime into the mashed avocado. Add salt and mix well to combine.

  3. 5

    Incorporate Vegetables

    Gently fold in the chopped tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, jalapeño, and minced garlic (if using) into the avocado mixture.

Serving

  1. 6

    Taste and Adjust

    Taste the guacamole and adjust the seasoning with more salt, lime juice, or black pepper as needed.

  2. 7

    Serve

    Transfer the guacamole to a serving bowl and enjoy with tortilla chips, vegetable sticks, or as a topping for tacos.
