Description
A creamy and flavorful guacamole made with fresh ingredients.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 small Roma tomatoes, finely diced
- 2 large ripe avocados
- 1/2 small-medium red onion, very finely diced (about 1/3 – 1/2 cup)
- 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
- 1 Jalapeño pepper, seeded and very finely diced (optional)
- 2–3 teaspoons lime juice (about 1 lime, add to taste)
- 1–2 cloves minced garlic (OR 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, optional)
- 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
- Pat the finely diced Roma tomatoes dry very well with paper towels to reduce extra liquid in the guacamole.
- Mash the avocado in a medium mixing bowl. The more you mash them, the smoother your guacamole will be.
- Add the tomatoes along with the remaining ingredients to the mashed avocados, gradually adding the lime and salt to taste until you achieve your desired seasoning. Stir well, taste, and adjust seasoning before serving.
Notes
- For best results, use ripe avocados for a creamier texture.
- Adjust the amount of lime and salt based on your flavor preference.
- Storing guacamole: To keep it fresh, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the guacamole to minimize air contact.
