Ingredients
- 3 ripe avocados (soft to the touch when pressed gently)
- 1 medium tomato, diced (use cherry tomatoes for a sweeter flavor)
- ½ small onion, finely chopped (substitute red onions for a milder taste)
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (or use lemon juice as a substitute)
- ½ teaspoon salt (or to taste)
Optional Additions:
- Garlic powder, ground cumin, or chili flakes for extra flavor
- Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Prepare the Ingredients:
- Wash the tomato and onion. Slice the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl.
Mash the Avocado:
- Use a fork or potato masher to mash the avocados to your desired texture—chunky or smooth.
Combine Ingredients:
- Add the diced tomato, chopped onion, lime juice, and salt to the bowl. Mix gently to combine without overmixing.
Adjust Seasoning:
- Taste the guacamole and adjust the lime juice or salt to your preference. Add optional spices or diced jalapeños if desired.
Serve:
- Transfer the guacamole to a serving bowl and garnish with cilantro or chili flakes. Serve immediately with tortilla chips or as a topping for tacos, nachos, or sandwiches.
Notes
To prevent browning, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the guacamole or add a thin layer of water on top before storing. For a spicier version, mix in finely chopped jalapeños or a pinch of chili flakes. Leftovers can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to two days.
