Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Avocados
Cut the avocados in half lengthwise and twist to separate. Remove the pit carefully using a spoon or by tapping it gently with a knife and twisting it out. Scoop the avocado flesh into a large mixing bowl.
Step 2: Mash the Avocados
Using a fork or potato masher, mash the avocado to your desired consistency—keep it chunky for texture or make it smooth for a creamy dip.
Step 3: Add the Ingredients
Stir in the diced onion, Roma tomatoes, chopped cilantro, jalapeño, and minced garlic. Squeeze in the fresh lime juice and sprinkle with sea salt. Mix everything gently until well combined.
Step 4: Adjust & Serve
Taste the guacamole and adjust seasoning if needed—add more lime juice for brightness or an extra pinch of salt for balance. Serve immediately with tortilla chips or as a topping for tacos, burritos, grilled meats, or even scrambled eggs.
FAQs
How do I keep guacamole from turning brown?
Exposure to air causes guacamole to brown. To prevent this, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface or store it in an airtight container. Another trick is to add a thin layer of lime juice over the top before sealing the container.
Can I make guacamole without cilantro?
Yes! If you’re not a fan of cilantro, simply omit it or substitute it with fresh parsley for a similar fresh note without the citrusy bite.
