Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 3 ripe avocados

- 2 roma tomatoes, diced
- 1 clove garlic, minced (optional)
- Salt, to taste
- Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
- Jalapeño, finely chopped (optional)
- 1 pinch cumin (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the avocados: Cut the avocados in half and remove the pit. Scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl.
- Mash the avocados: Using a fork or a potato masher, mash the avocados to your desired level of creaminess.
- Add lime juice: Immediately add the lime juice to the mashed avocados to prevent browning.

- Season with salt: Add salt to taste, tasting as you go to get the perfect flavor balance.
- Fold in fresh herbs and chili: Gently fold in cilantro and jalapeños at this stage if using.
- Serve or store: Transfer the guacamole to a serving bowl and enjoy immediately, or cover with plastic wrap to serve later.
Notes
- For best flavor, use ripe avocados that yield slightly to gentle pressure.
- Adjust jalapeño quantity based on your preferred spice level.
- Lime juice not only adds flavor but also helps keep the guacamole from turning brown quickly.
- Serve with tortilla chips, fresh vegetables, or as a topping for tacos and burritos.
- Store tightly covered in the refrigerator and consume within 1-2 days for freshness.
