Guacamole Ingredients

Method

Guacamole Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Avocados

    Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl.

  2. 2

    Mash the Avocados

    Using a fork or a potato masher, mash the avocado until it reaches your desired level of creaminess. You can leave it chunky or make it smooth.

  3. 3

    Add Lime Juice

    Pour the lime juice over the mashed avocado and mix to combine. This helps prevent browning and adds flavor.

  4. 4

    Season with Salt

    Sprinkle the salt over the mixture and stir well to ensure even distribution.

  5. 5

    Incorporate Vegetables

    Add diced tomatoes, diced red onion, minced garlic, and chopped cilantro to the avocado mixture. Gently fold the ingredients together.

  6. 6

    Add Jalapeño (If Desired)

    If you want some heat, finely chop the jalapeño (remove seeds for less heat) and mix it into the guacamole.

  7. 7

    Taste and Adjust Seasoning

    Taste the guacamole and adjust the seasoning by adding more salt or lime juice if needed.

  8. 8

    Serve

    Transfer the guacamole to a serving bowl and serve with tortilla chips. Enjoy!
