Total Time: 10 mins
Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 ripe avocados
- 1 lime, juiced
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/4 cup diced red onion
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Select ripe avocados that yield slightly when gently pressed. Cut avocados in half lengthwise and remove the pit carefully using a sharp knife.
- Scoop the avocado flesh into a medium-sized mixing bowl using a spoon, ensuring you capture all the creamy interior.
- Immediately squeeze fresh lime juice over the avocado to prevent browning and add bright, citrusy flavor. Mash the avocados with a fork or potato masher, leaving some small chunks for texture.
- Finely dice the red onion and tomatoes into uniform small pieces, ensuring they are fresh and crisp.
- Add diced tomatoes, red onion, and freshly chopped cilantro to the mashed avocado mixture.
- Sprinkle salt to taste, starting with a small amount and adjusting gradually. Gently fold all ingredients together until well combined.
- Cover the guacamole with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface to prevent oxidation, and refrigerate for 15-30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
- Before serving, give the guacamole a final gentle stir and taste for seasoning. Serve chilled with tortilla chips or as a side to Mexican dishes.
Tips
- Avocado Selection is Key: Choose ripe avocados that yield slightly to gentle pressure but aren't mushy. The perfect avocado should have a rich, creamy texture.
- Prevent Browning: Lime juice isn't just for flavor – it helps prevent oxidation, keeping your guacamole looking fresh and vibrant.
- Texture Matters: Don't over-mash! Leave some small chunks for a more authentic, rustic feel that adds interest to every bite.
- Chill for Maximum Flavor: Letting the guacamole rest in the refrigerator for 15-30 minutes allows the ingredients to meld together, intensifying the overall taste.
- Fresh Ingredients Make a Difference: Use freshly chopped cilantro and crisp vegetables to elevate the entire dish.
- Salt Gradually: Start with a small amount of salt and adjust to taste. You can always add more, but you can't take it away!
