Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 3 large ripe avocados
  • 1/4 cup lime juice
  • 1/4 cup red onion finely diced
  • 2 tablespoons cilantro chopped
  • 1 jalapeño minced (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Equipment

  • medium bowl
  • fork

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Halve the avocados, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a medium bowl.
  2. Mash the avocado flesh with a fork to your desired consistency.
  3. Add the lime juice, red onion, cilantro, jalapeño (if using), salt, and pepper to the bowl and mix well.
  4. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed, adding more salt, lime juice, or jalapeño.
  5. Serve immediately with tortilla chips or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 hours.

Notes

For best results, use ripe avocados that yield slightly to pressure. To prevent browning, press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the guacamole before refrigerating.
