Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 3 large ripe avocados
  • 1 lime (juice of)
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder

Vegetables & Herbs

  • 1 cup grape tomatoes, quartered
  • 1/2 cup onion, finely diced
  • 1/2 cup cilantro, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup jalapeno, finely diced (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Avocados: Remove the avocados from their skins and discard the pits. Place the avocado flesh into a large mixing bowl.
  2. Add Seasonings: Add the finely diced onion, garlic powder, and salt to the avocados. Squeeze the juice of one lime over the mixture to add brightness and prevent browning.
  3. Mash the Mixture: Using a fork, stir and mash the ingredients together until the avocado is mostly smooth and the lime juice and seasonings are well incorporated, creating a creamy base.
  4. Incorporate Fresh Ingredients: Gently fold in the quartered grape tomatoes, chopped cilantro, and finely diced jalapeno (if using) until evenly combined, ensuring a balance of flavors and textures.
  5. Serve Immediately: For the best taste and freshness, serve the guacamole right away with your choice of chips, tacos, or as a topping for other dishes.

Notes

  • For a milder guacamole, omit the jalapeno or reduce the amount to taste.
  • To keep guacamole from browning if storing, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface or add extra lime juice.
  • Feel free to adjust salt and lime juice according to your taste preferences.
  • This recipe is a great base for adding other ingredients like diced mango or corn for variation.
  • Always use ripe avocados for the best creamy texture and flavor.
