Total Time: 15 mins
Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 2 cups guacamole
Ingredients
- 3 ripe avocados
- 1/2 red onion, diced
- 1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and finely chopped
- 1/2 lime, juiced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Select ripe avocados that yield slightly when gently pressed. Cut avocados in half lengthwise and remove the pit.
- Scoop the avocado flesh into a medium mixing bowl using a spoon. Mash the avocados with a fork until they reach a chunky, creamy consistency.
- Finely dice the red onion into small, uniform pieces to ensure even distribution throughout the guacamole.
- Remove the seeds and membranes from the jalapeño pepper to reduce heat, then mince it finely to distribute the pepper's flavor evenly.
- Add the diced red onion, minced jalapeño, and minced garlic to the mashed avocados.
- Squeeze fresh lime juice over the mixture to add brightness and help prevent the avocados from browning.
- Sprinkle salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste, mixing gently to combine all ingredients.
- Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more lime juice, salt, or pepper to balance the flavors.
- Cover the guacamole with plastic wrap directly touching the surface to prevent browning, and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Serve chilled with tortilla chips, as a topping for tacos, or as a side condiment.
Tips
- • Choose avocados that are ripe but not overripe - they should yield slightly to gentle pressure • Always use fresh lime juice for the brightest flavor • Seed the jalapeño to control the heat level • Mash avocados with a fork for a rustic, chunky texture • To prevent browning, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the guacamole • Prepare ingredients just before serving for maximum freshness • Taste and adjust seasonings gradually to achieve the perfect balance • Serve immediately or chill for up to 2 hours for the best flavor and texture
