Ingredients
Scale
- 3 ripe avocados
- 1/2 lime, juiced
- 1/4 cup red onion, finely diced
- 1 tablespoon cilantro, chopped (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Pinch of black pepper
- 1/2 jalapeño, minced (optional)
Instructions
- Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a medium bowl.
- Mash the avocado with a fork to your desired consistency. For chunky guacamole, leave some larger pieces.
- Add the lime juice, diced red onion, cilantro (if using), salt, pepper, and minced jalapeño (if using).
- Stir everything together until well combined.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve immediately.
Notes
- To prevent browning, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the guacamole before refrigerating.
- For a smoother texture, use an immersion blender or food processor.
- Make ahead: You can prepare the onion and jalapeño mixture ahead of time, but add the avocado and lime juice just before serving for the freshest taste.
