Guacamole Recipe
This is the guacamole recipe you'll come back to over and over. It's simple, authentic, and made with just a few fresh ingredients that do all the work. No fillers. No shortcuts. Just bold, clean flavor.
Ingredients
For the Base
- 3 ripe avocados soft but not mushy
- 0.5 yellow onion finely chopped
For Fresh Flavor
- 1 Roma tomato diced
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro chopped
- 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
For a Kick
- 1 jalapeño pepper seeded and minced
- 1 clove garlic minced
For Seasoning
- 0.5 tsp salt adjust to taste
Instructions
- Slice each avocado in half and remove the pit carefully. Use a spoon to scoop the flesh into a medium mixing bowl.
- Using a fork, mash the avocado until it reaches your preferred texture. For a rustic, chunky version, leave small pieces. For a smoother finish, mash more thoroughly.
- Add finely chopped yellow onion, minced garlic, diced jalapeño, chopped cilantro, and lime juice. Mix to combine and develop the flavors.
- Gently fold in diced Roma tomatoes and salt. Stir until everything is evenly combined. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
- Transfer to a serving bowl and enjoy immediately with tortilla chips or your favorite Mexican dishes.
Notes
Use avocados that are evenly ripe for best results. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Chop ingredients finely to blend flavors well. Serve at room temperature for enhanced flavor. Use the water layer method to keep leftovers green and fresh.
