Ingredients
Scale

- 1 lime, juiced
- 1 teaspoon salt

- 2 Roma tomatoes, diced
- 3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 jalapeño, seeded and finely chopped (optional for spice)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Mash the Avocados: In a medium bowl, mash the avocados with a fork until smooth but slightly chunky for texture.
- Add Lime & Seasoning: Stir in the lime juice and salt to prevent browning and enhance flavor.
- Mix in Veggies: Fold in the diced red onion, tomatoes, cilantro, jalapeño (if using), and minced garlic.
- Season to Taste: Add black pepper and adjust salt or lime juice as needed.
- Serve Fresh: Enjoy immediately with tortilla chips, or as a topping for tacos, nachos, or your favorite dishes.
Notes
- Avocado Ripeness: Use ripe avocados that yield slightly to gentle pressure for the creamiest texture.
- Lime Juice Tip: Fresh lime juice not only adds zing but also helps prevent the guacamole from browning.
- Spice Level: Adjust the amount of jalapeño or swap with serrano peppers for extra heat, or omit entirely for a milder flavor.
- Add-Ins: Try adding diced mango, pomegranate seeds, or roasted corn for a unique twist.
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container with plastic wrap pressed directly on the surface to reduce browning. Best enjoyed within 1-2 days.
- Texture Preference: For chunkier guacamole, mash the avocado less and leave some larger pieces.
