Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Guacamole base
  • 3 avocados Ripe; halved and pitted
  • 0.5 white onion Finely diced
  • 1 jalapeño Minced
  • 0.25 cup fresh cilantro Chopped
  • 1 Roma tomato Diced
  • 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 1 salt To taste
  • 1 pepper To taste
  • 1 tortilla chips For serving

Method
 

Mash the avocados
  1. Scoop the avocado flesh into a medium bowl.
  2. Mash the avocados with a fork until your desired consistency is reached, keeping it chunky or smoothing as you prefer.
Mix in vegetables and herbs
  1. Fold in the diced white onion, minced jalapeño, chopped fresh cilantro, and diced Roma tomato.
  2. Add the fresh lime juice and gently toss to combine so the tomato pieces stay visible.
  3. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve or prevent browning
  1. Transfer the guacamole to a serving bowl and serve immediately with warm tortilla chips.
  2. If not serving immediately, place plastic wrap directly on the surface of the guacamole to prevent browning.

Notes

For the best flavor and color, mash and mix right before serving. Store leftovers in an airtight container with plastic wrap pressed directly on the surface; refrigerate up to 1 day (freshness and texture are best within 24 hours). Freezing is not recommended because avocado texture turns watery. For a milder option, use half the jalapeño or remove the seeds.
