Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 3 ripe avocados
- ½ lime, juiced (about 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice)
- ¾ cup grape tomatoes, quartered
- ⅓ cup diced red or white onion
- 1 jalapeno, finely diced (or two for extra heat)
- ½ cup chopped cilantro
- ¼ teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Optional Ingredients
- 2 garlic cloves, finely minced
Instructions
- Mash the Avocados: In a medium bowl, mash the ripe avocados gently to achieve a texture that is both creamy and chunky, avoiding making it overly smooth.
- Add Flavorful Ingredients: Mix in the fresh lime juice, quartered grape tomatoes, diced onion, finely diced jalapeño, chopped cilantro, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients well.
- Adjust Seasoning and Garnish: Taste the guacamole and add more salt or jalapeño if desired for extra seasoning or heat. Garnish with extra sliced grape tomatoes, cilantro leaves, and jalapeño slices. Serve immediately with tortilla chips or as a topping for tacos and sandwiches.
Notes
- Use ripe avocados for the best creamy texture and flavor.
- Adjust jalapeño quantity according to your preferred spice level.
- Add garlic for a more pungent and savory taste, if desired.
- Serve guacamole immediately to prevent browning; storing with a layer of plastic wrap pressed onto the surface can help maintain freshness.
