Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Avocados

    Cut the ripe avocados in half and remove the pit. Scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl.

  2. 2

    Mash the Avocados

    Using a fork or potato masher, mash the avocado until creamy but slightly chunky, depending on your preference.

  3. 3

    Add Lime Juice

    Pour the lime juice over the mashed avocado to add flavor and prevent browning.

  4. 4

    Mix in the Vegetables

    Add the finely chopped red onion, diced tomato, chopped cilantro, and minced garlic to the bowl. Stir gently to combine.

  5. 5

    Season the Guacamole

    Sprinkle in the salt and black pepper. If desired, add the finely chopped jalapeño for an extra kick. Mix well.

  6. 6

    Taste and Adjust

    Taste your guacamole and adjust the seasoning as needed, adding more salt, lime juice, or jalapeño to suit your taste.
