Ingredients

Guacamole Ingredients

  • 2 ripe avocados, peeled and pitted
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 ripe tomato, chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Gather Ingredients: Collect all fresh ingredients including ripe avocados, onion, tomato, garlic, and lime to ensure a smooth preparation process.
  2. Mash Avocados: In a medium serving bowl, mash the peeled and pitted avocados until you achieve a creamy but chunky texture based on preference.
  3. Add Vegetables: Stir in the finely chopped onion, chopped tomato, and minced garlic to the mashed avocado, mixing evenly to combine flavors.
  4. Season: Pour in the freshly squeezed lime juice. Season with salt and pepper according to taste, ensuring the flavors are balanced.
  5. Chill: Cover the guacamole with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. This resting time allows the flavors to meld and develop a richer taste.

Notes

  • For best results, use ripe avocados that yield slightly to gentle pressure.
  • Adjust salt and lime juice to your preference to balance acidity and seasoning.
  • Serve immediately after chilling to prevent browning or cover tightly with plastic wrap pressed against the surface.
  • Optional additions include chopped cilantro, jalapeño for heat, or a pinch of cumin for extra flavor.
