Here’s a simple and delicious recipe for Guacamole that’s perfect for any occasion. It’s chunky yet creamy, flavorful, and always a crowd-pleaser!
Yield: 4 Servings
Ingredients:
- 3 large ripe Hass avocados
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 limes, juiced (about 2 tablespoons)
- 1/2 small onion (white or red), finely diced
- 1 small jalapeño or Serrano pepper, finely diced (remove seeds and flesh for a milder flavor, with gloves)
- 1/4-1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 plum or Roma tomato, chopped (remove & discard center seeds and juice)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Avocados:
- Cut the avocados in half and remove the pit. Scoop the flesh into a medium-sized mixing bowl.
- Use a potato masher or fork to mash the avocados to your desired consistency.
- Add the Salt & Lime Juice:
- Add the salt and lime juice to the mashed avocado to prevent browning and add a fresh tangy flavor.
- Add the Vegetables:
- Stir in the finely diced onion, jalapeño, cilantro, and tomato into the mashed avocado, just until combined.
Serve:
- Serve immediately with tortilla chips, as a topping for tacos, burritos, or alongside grilled vegetables or rice.
Tips:
- Storage: If not serving right away, cover the guacamole tightly with plastic wrap to minimize air exposure and refrigerate it for up to a few hours.
Enjoy your fresh, flavorful guacamole!
