Main Ingredients

▢ 3 ripe Hass avocados, peeled and pitted
▢ 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
▢ 0.25 cup red onion, finely diced
▢ 1 jalapeño, seeded and minced
▢ 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
▢ 0.5 tsp kosher salt start with this amount and adjust to taste
▢ 0.25 tsp ground cumin optional
▢ 0.25 tsp black pepper optional
▢ 1 Roma tomato, seeded and diced optional; fold in at the end

Instructions

Preparation Steps

In a medium bowl, add the avocados and mash with a fork until mostly smooth with a few small chunks.
Add the lime juice and stir to combine, coating the avocado to prevent browning.
Fold in the red onion, jalapeño, and cilantro. Add cumin, salt, and black pepper; mix gently.
If using, fold in the diced tomato. Taste and adjust salt and lime as needed.
Serve right away, or press plastic wrap directly onto the surface and refrigerate up to 2 hours.

Notes

For extra zing, add a pinch of chili powder or swap jalapeño for serrano. To keep leftovers green, add an extra splash of lime and store covered with plastic wrap pressed directly on the guacamole's surface.
