Ingredients
Scale
- 3 ripe avocados (look for soft, not mushy)
- 1 small red onion, finely chopped
- 2 ripe tomatoes, diced
- 1-2 serrano peppers, minced (adjust to taste)
- Juice of 1 lime
- 2 tablespoons freshly chopped cilantro
- 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl. Use a fork or a potato masher to mash the avocado to your preferred consistency, whether chunky or smooth.
- Mix in the finely chopped red onion, diced tomatoes, and minced serrano peppers. These ingredients give the guacamole its authentic and vibrant flavor profile.
- Stir in the lime juice, which helps prevent browning and adds flavor. Add chopped cilantro, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasonings to taste.
- Combine all ingredients thoroughly and taste test. Adjust the salt, lime, or cilantro as needed for optimal flavor.
Notes
- Store the guacamole in an airtight container, pressing plastic wrap directly on the surface to prevent air exposure.
- Keep refrigerated for up to 2 days for best freshness.
- Sprinkle an extra squeeze of lime juice on top before sealing to reduce browning.
