Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 3 pieces ripe avocados Choose perfectly ripe avocados for the best creaminess.
  • 1/4 cup red onion, chopped Adds a crunchy texture and slightly sweet flavor.
  • 1 piece jalapeño, finely minced Adjust spice according to preference.
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped Provides a vibrant flavor.
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice Freshly squeezed for the best flavor.
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt Start small and adjust to taste.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Scoop the flesh of the avocados into a medium bowl.
  2. Use a potato masher or fork to mash the avocado until desired consistency.
  3. Stir in the chopped red onion, finely minced jalapeños, chopped cilantro, lime juice, and salt.
  4. Start with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and juice from 1 lime, then combine thoroughly.
  5. Taste the mixture and adjust the salt and lime juice, adding more as desired.
  6. Enjoy the guacamole fresh with tortilla chips, adjusting flavors to your liking.

Notes

Choose ripe but firm avocados for best results. Fresh lime juice is recommended over bottled. For a creamier texture, mash avocados thoroughly. Press plastic wrap directly onto the guacamole surface if storing to prevent browning. Best enjoyed fresh, but can be stored in the refrigerator for one day.
