Ingredients
Guacamole Ingredients
- 3 ripe avocados, halved and pitted
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- ½ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
- ½ jalapeño pepper, seeded and finely chopped
- ¼ cup finely minced red onion
- ½ cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (from 1 lime)
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
Serving Suggestion
- Corn tortilla chips, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare Avocados: Place the halved and pitted avocados in a medium bowl. Using a fork, smash the avocados to your desired consistency, whether chunky or smooth.
- Add Flavor Ingredients: Stir in the minced garlic, freshly cracked black pepper, finely chopped jalapeño, minced red onion, chopped cilantro, fresh lime juice, and kosher salt until all ingredients are well combined and evenly distributed.
- Serve: Serve the guacamole immediately with corn tortilla chips, or cover and refrigerate to allow flavors to meld before serving.
Notes
- Use ripe but firm avocados for the best texture and flavor.
- Adjust jalapeño quantity depending on your preferred spice level.
- For a smoother guacamole, use a potato masher instead of a fork.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the freshest taste or cover with plastic wrap directly on the surface to prevent browning.
- Lime juice not only adds flavor but helps to keep the guacamole from browning.
