Guacamole Ingredients
- 3 ripe Hass avocados, peeled and pitted
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1/4 cup finely diced red onion
- 1 small Roma tomato, seeded and diced
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 small jalapeño, finely minced with seeds removed
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Prepare Avocados: Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a medium bowl. Mash the avocados using a fork until mostly smooth but still slightly chunky for texture.
- Add Lime Juice: Pour in the fresh lime juice and stir thoroughly to combine, which also helps prevent the avocado from browning.
- Mix Vegetables and Herbs: Fold in finely diced red onion, diced Roma tomato, chopped cilantro, and minced jalapeño, ensuring even distribution throughout the mixture.
- Season: Sprinkle salt, ground cumin, and black pepper over the mixture. Gently mix all ingredients until evenly combined, adjusting seasoning as needed after tasting.
- Serve or Store: Serve the guacamole immediately for best freshness, or cover tightly with plastic wrap pressed directly on the surface to prevent browning if saving for later.
Notes
- For a creamier consistency, add one tablespoon of sour cream or Greek yogurt when mashing the avocados.
- For a spicier guacamole, leave some of the jalapeño seeds intact during preparation.
