Guacamole Ingredients

Method

Guacamole Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Start by gathering all the ingredients. Make sure your avocados are ripe for the best flavor.

  2. 2

    Cut and Mash the Avocados

    Slice the ripe avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl. Use a fork or a potato masher to mash the avocados until you reach your desired consistency.

  3. 3

    Add Lime Juice

    Pour in the lime juice into the mashed avocados. This will add flavor and help prevent the avocados from browning.

  4. 4

    Incorporate Fresh Ingredients

    Chop the fresh cilantro, dice the red onion, and the tomato. If using, finely chop the jalapeño. Add these to the avocado mixture.

  5. 5

    Season with Salt

    Sprinkle the salt over the mixture. Mix everything together gently to combine all ingredients evenly.

  6. 6

    Taste and Adjust

    Taste the guacamole and adjust the seasoning if necessary. You can add more lime juice or salt according to your preference.

  7. 7

    Serve Fresh

    Transfer the guacamole to a serving bowl and enjoy it immediately with tortilla chips or as a topping for your favorite dishes.
