Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 jalapeño pepper
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
- 1/4 small onion
Seasoning and Acid:
- 1/2 lime (juiced)
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
- Halve ripe avocados and extract the pit using a sharp knife, then scoop the creamy flesh into a medium mixing bowl using a spoon.
- Crush the avocado pulp with a fork or traditional molcajete, creating a texture ranging from rustic chunks to silky smoothness according to personal preference.
- Incorporate finely chopped cilantro, diced tomatoes, minced onion, zesty lime juice, spicy jalapeño, and kosher salt into the mashed avocado, blending thoroughly to distribute flavors evenly.
- Sample the guacamole and fine-tune the seasoning by adjusting lime juice or salt intensity, ensuring a balanced and vibrant taste profile.
Notes
- Choose ripe avocados with a slight give when gently pressed to ensure creamy, flavorful guacamole.
- Prevent browning by keeping the pit in the guacamole or covering the surface directly with plastic wrap to minimize air exposure.
- For a smoother texture, use a fork to mash avocados, but leave some chunks for a more rustic, authentic feel.
- Customize heat levels by removing jalapeño seeds for mild guacamole or adding extra for a spicier kick.
