Ingredients (4 servings)
MetricImperial
2 ripe avocados
1 roma tomato
1/4 yellow onion
1/2 lime, juiced
1 tbsp cilantro, chopped
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 jalapeño pepper (optional)
- Dice tomato and jalapeño pepper (if using).
- Finely mince onion.
- Cut avocados into halves, remove pit, and scoop out flesh into a mixing bowl. Mash with a fork and make it as chunky or smooth as you like.
- Add the rest of the ingredients to mashed avocado and mix well.
- Taste and add more salt or lime juice if needed.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- Use avocados that are ripe but not over-ripe. You don't want mushy guacamole!
- Omit jalapeño pepper if you don't like spicy.
- Adjust amount of salt and cilantro to your preference.
- Avocado tends to oxidize and turn brown quickly once cut open. The same goes for guacamole. Serve guacamole immediately or store for 1-2 days in fridge with cling wrap pressed against the entire surface of guacamole. Give it a stir before serving again.
