Guacamole Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Avocados

    Cut the ripe avocados in half. Remove the pit and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl.

  2. 2

    Mash the Avocados

    Using a fork or a potato masher, mash the avocado until you reach your desired level of creaminess. Leave some chunks for texture if desired.

  3. 3

    Add Lime Juice

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

  4. 4

    Incorporate Vegetables

    Add the finely chopped red onion, jalapeño, and cilantro into the bowl with the avocado.

  5. 5

    Season the Mixture

    Sprinkle in the salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix all the ingredients until well combined.

  6. 6

    Taste and Adjust

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

  7. 7

    Serve

    Transfer the guacamole to a serving bowl and serve immediately with tortilla chips or fresh vegetables.
