Equipment

  • Fork or potato masher
  • Mixing Bowl

Ingredients
  

  • 1/4 cup red onion finely diced
  • 1 tablespoon diced tomato
  • 1/2 jalapeño pepper stemmed, seeded, and finely minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro leaves chopped
  • 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 2 ripe avocados halved and pitted
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • Tortilla chips for serving

Instructions
 

  • Before diving into the step-by-step process, know this: making guacamole is as satisfying as eating it. It’s a simple procedure that allows for plenty of customization and creativity. Let’s get started!

Step 1: Prepare the Avocados

  • Take your ripe avocados. Cut them in half, twist to remove the pit, and scoop the green flesh into a mixing bowl. This is where the magic begins.

Step 2: Mash It Up

  • Using a fork or a potato masher, gently mash the avocados until you reach your desired consistency. I like mine a bit chunky—just enough to provide texture.

Step 3: Add the Fresh Ingredients

  • Next, fold in the finely diced red onion, the juicy diced tomato, and the kicky jalapeño.

Step 4: Spice It Up

  • Now, it’s time to add the chopped cilantro, lime juice, lemon juice, ground cumin, and a pinch of sea salt. Each ingredient plays a role, elevating the guacamole to new heights.

Step 5: Give It a Taste

  • At this point, make sure to taste your creation. Feel free to adjust the salt, acidity, or even spiciness according to your preference. Personalization is key!

Step 6: Serve and Savor

  • Finally, serve your guacamole with a bowl of crispy tortilla chips. Maybe even add some sliced jalapeños on top for extra flair. Enjoy every creamy bite—it’s party time!

Notes

Here are some handy tips to enhance your guacamole:
  • Choose Ripe Avocados: When picking avocados, opt for those that yield slightly to pressure.
  • Add Lime and Lemon: They preserve the color of the avocado, preventing it from browning too quickly.
  • Don’t Over Mash: Chunky guacamole adds to the experience.
  • Make It Ahead: Guacamole can be made a few hours in advance. Just cover the surface with plastic wrap to avoid oxidation.
  • Experiment: Feel free to add more spices or ingredients, like garlic or other peppers.
