Guacamole Recipe

Prepare the Avocados

Cut the ripe avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl.

Mash the Avocados

Using a fork or a potato masher, mash the avocado until you reach your desired level of creaminess (smooth or chunky).

Add Lime Juice

Pour the lime juice over the mashed avocado, and mix well to combine. This will add flavor and help prevent browning.

Mix in Vegetables

Add the finely chopped red onion, minced jalapeño, and chopped cilantro to the bowl. Stir gently to combine all ingredients.

Season

Add salt and black pepper to taste, mixing gently to incorporate the seasonings.

Serve

Transfer the guacamole to a serving bowl, and serve immediately with tortilla chips, or cover with plastic wrap directly on the surface to prevent browning until ready to serve.
