My Favorite Guacamole
A simple, flavorful guacamole made with ripe avocados, lime juice, cilantro, red onion, and jalapeno.
Ingredients
- 2 ripe Hass avocados*
- juice from 1 lime
- 1/4 cup cilantro or a small handful
- 1/2 a small red onion
- 1/2 a jalapeno
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- 1. Finely dice the cilantro, red onion, and jalapeno (remove seeds for less heat). Then, put all ingredients into a small mixing bowl.
- 2. Use a fork to mash the avocados until no large chunks are left. Some smaller chunks are good for adding texture to the guacamole.
- 3. Taste and add more salt, if needed, then serve. Leftovers keep well in the fridge for up to 3 days. I recommend covering the guacamole in plastic wrap with the plastic touching the surface of the guac to keep air out. This will help prevent browning.
Notes
*Ripe avocados should be soft, yet still slightly firm. If the avocado is already mushy and/or brown inside, it's overripe and won't taste great here!
