Ingredients
- 3 pieces Hass avocado
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 0.5 teaspoons Kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 piece Jalapeño, finely minced (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Slice the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a large mixing bowl.
Step 2
Using a fork or potato masher, gently mash the avocado to your desired consistency. For a chunkier guacamole, leave some small avocado pieces intact.
Step 3
Add the lime juice and kosher salt to the mashed avocado. Stir well to combine.
Step 4
Gently fold in the chopped cilantro. If using jalapeño, add it at this stage and mix thoroughly.
Step 5
Taste and adjust salt or lime juice as needed to balance the flavors.
Step 6
Serve immediately with tortilla chips, or cover tightly with plastic wrap pressed directly onto the surface of the guacamole to prevent browning until ready to serve.
