Instructions

Start by selecting a perfectly ripe avocado. It should yield gently to pressure but not feel mushy.
Cut the avocado in half lengthwise, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash the avocado with a fork to your desired consistency. For a chunkier guacamole, mash less.
Finely chop the onion. Removing the root end helps prevent tearing. Dice the tomato, making sure to remove the seeds to prevent a watery guacamole.
Add the chopped onion and tomato to the mashed avocado. Finely chop the fresh cilantro and add it to the bowl.
Gently fold all the ingredients together. Season with salt and lime juice. The lime juice not only adds brightness but also helps prevent the guacamole from browning.
Serve immediately with your favorite tortilla chips, cilantro rice, or rice crackers. Enjoy!

Recipe Notes

Good To Know

For an extra layer of flavor, finely mince a small amount of jalapeño or serrano chili and mix it in for gentle heat. Remove the seeds for milder guacamole.
Try mashing half the avocado to a creamy consistency and dicing the other half for a chunkier texture, giving the dip more body and visual appeal.
For a twist, fold in a spoonful of pomegranate seeds or diced mango before serving to add a sweet, tangy pop that balances the richness of the avocado.

Expert Tips

Use perfectly ripe avocados for the best flavor and texture. They should yield to gentle pressure but not feel mushy.
For a smoother guacamole, use a molcajete (Mexican mortar and pestle) to grind the ingredients together.
Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. A pinch of cumin or smoked paprika can add depth of flavor.

Storage Instructions

To keep your guacamole vibrant and prevent browning, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface before refrigerating, or leave an avocado pit in the center while storing.
