Ingredients

• 3 whole ripe avocados
• 1 whole lime
• 0.5 whole small red onion
• 0.25 cup cilantro
• 1 whole jalapeño pepper
• 1 clove garlic
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 medium tomato

Directions

Step 1

Cut the avocados in half lengthwise and carefully remove the pits. Use a spoon to scoop the avocado flesh into a medium-sized mixing bowl.

Step 2

Use a fork to mash the avocado until you achieve your desired consistency. For a chunkier guacamole, mash less; for a smoother guacamole, mash more.

Step 3

Roll the lime on the countertop under your palm to loosen the juice. Cut it in half and squeeze the juice over the mashed avocado. Mix well to combine.

Step 4

Finely dice the red onion and add it to the avocado mixture.

Step 5

Chop the cilantro leaves and stems finely and add them to the bowl.

Step 6

Slice the jalapeño in half and remove the seeds to reduce heat, if desired. Mince the jalapeño finely and add it to the guacamole.

Step 7

Peel and finely mince the garlic clove. Stir it into the mixture.

Step 8

Dice the tomato, removing any excess seeds, and fold it gently into the guacamole.

Step 9

Add salt to the mixture and stir well. Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt or lime juice if needed.

Step 10

Serve immediately with tortilla chips or as a topping for tacos, burritos, or your favorite Mexican dish.
