Fresh, simple guacamole made with ripe avocados, lime, jalapeño, and cilantro. Ready in 10 minutes and better than anything from a jar.
Servings: 6 servings
Calories: 160kcal
Ingredients
- 3 ripe avocados
- 1 lime, juiced
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt plus more to taste
- 1/2 small white onion, finely diced
- 1 jalapeño, seeded and minced
- 1 small handful fresh cilantro, roughly chopped
- 1 Roma tomato, seeded and diced
Instructions
- Cut avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a bowl.
- Add the lime juice and salt immediately. Mash with a fork to your preferred texture — somewhere between smooth and chunky works well.
- Add the onion, jalapeño, cilantro, and tomato. Fold together gently to maintain some texture.
- Taste and adjust salt and lime as needed. Let sit for 5 minutes before serving.
- Serve with tortilla chips.
Notes
Ripe avocados are essential — they should yield to gentle pressure. Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of any leftovers to slow browning. Best eaten fresh but will keep in the fridge for 1 day.
