Ingredients
Scale
- 3 ripe avocados: creamy base of the guacamole
- 1 lime, juiced: adds tanginess and prevents browning
- 1/2 teaspoon salt: enhances the flavors
- 1/2 cup diced red onion: adds crunch and sharpness
- 2 Roma tomatoes, diced: for juiciness and mild sweetness
- 3 tablespoons chopped cilantro: herby and citrusy flavor
- 1 jalapeño, seeded and minced (optional): adds a spicy kick
Instructions
- Cut avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a bowl.
- Mash the avocado using a fork or masher to your desired consistency.
- Add lime juice and salt. Mix gently.
- Fold in red onion, tomatoes, jalapeño (if using), and cilantro.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with more lime or salt if needed.

Notes
- Use ripe Hass avocados for best texture and flavor.
- To store, place avocado pit in the guacamole and cover tightly to reduce browning.
