- 4 avocados
- 2 tablespoons lime juice freshly squeezed
- 1 red onion (2- 3 tablespoons) chopped
- 1 jalapeno seeded and chopped
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1 tomato medium, seeded and chopped
- 1 bunch cilantro Chopped
- salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- Halve the avocados, remove pits, and scoop flesh into large bowl. Add the lime juice and mash immediately to slow the browning of the avocados.
- Mix in the onion, jalapeno, garlic, then add the tomato and cilantro and gently stir them in.
- Taste for seasoning and add salt as needed.
Notes
- For extra heat, leave the seeds in the jalapeno.
- Rinse the chopped raw onion under cold water for a cleaner flavor.
- If you’re not a fan of chopped raw onion, you can make it into a paste by adding the onion and 1 teaspoon of coarse salt on a cutting board and chopping until very finely minced into a paste.
- Add extra lime flavor to your guacamole by adding the zest of the lime along with the juice.
- Add the lime to the avocados and mash immediately after peeling to slow the browning process.
- Roast your garlic before you make the dip for a more subtle garlic taste.
