Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 ripe avocados
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (natural)
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/4 cup chopped red onion
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 small jalapeño pepper, minced (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (natural)
Instructions
- Prepare the avocados. Cut the avocados in half and remove the pits. Scoop the creamy flesh into a mixing bowl. Use a fork to mash the avocado to your preferred consistency, whether smooth or chunky.
- Add fresh lime juice (natural). Immediately squeeze fresh lime juice over the mashed avocado to enhance the flavor and prevent browning.
- Mix in the chopped vegetables. Fold in diced tomatoes, chopped red onion, minced jalapeño, and chopped fresh cilantro for balance and texture.
- Season the guacamole. Sprinkle in salt, pepper, and garlic powder (natural) gradually, tasting as you go to achieve the perfect blend.
- Final stir and serve. Give the guacamole one last gentle mix, adjusting any seasonings or spice levels, then serve immediately for maximum freshness.
Notes
- Use ripe avocados for the creamiest texture without bitterness.
- Keep diced vegetables cold before mixing to keep guacamole fresh longer.
- Adjust jalapeño heat gradually to suit your spice tolerance.
- Add lime juice right after mashing to prevent discoloration.
- Enjoy guacamole fresh; store leftovers airtight with lime juice on top.
