Ingredients
-
3 ripe avocados
-
1 medium tomato, finely diced
-
1/2 medium red onion, finely chopped
-
1–2 fresh jalapeños (optional), finely diced
-
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
-
2 tbsp fresh lime juice (about 1 lime)
-
1 garlic clove, minced

Salt and black pepper, to taste
Instructions
Prepare the avocados
Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a medium bowl. Mash with a fork until creamy but still slightly chunky for texture.
Mix in the vegetables
Add the diced tomato, onion, jalapeños (if using), cilantro, and garlic. Stir gently to combine, keeping the guacamole light and fresh.
Season and balance flavors
Stir in the lime juice, then season with salt and black pepper to taste. Adjust lime and seasoning as needed until the flavors are bright and well balanced.
Serve
Transfer the guacamole to a serving bowl and enjoy immediately with tortilla chips, fresh vegetables, or as a topping for tacos, burritos, and grilled meats.
Storage Tips
Guacamole is best enjoyed fresh. If storing, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface to minimize browning and refrigerate for up to 2 days. Stir before serving.
Why This Recipe Works
The creaminess of ripe avocados is perfectly lifted by the tang of lime, the freshness of cilantro, and the gentle heat of jalapeños. Leaving some avocado slightly chunky adds a satisfying texture, ensuring every bite tastes fresh, creamy, and full of flavor.
