Best Ever Guacamole (Fresh, Easy & Authentic)
Description
Best Ever Guacamole uses three ripe avocados mashed to preferred texture, combined with finely diced yellow onion, Roma tomato, chopped cilantro, jalapeño pepper without seeds, and minced garlic. Fresh lime juice and sea salt season the mixture, highlighting the natural creaminess and flavor of the avocados. The method simply mixes all components to maintain a fresh, chunky texture that is not overly smooth.
The lime juice not only adds brightness but helps slow browning, preserving the green color. The inclusion of jalapeño introduces mild heat, which can be adjusted to taste by the amount of seeds left in. The onion and tomato contribute crunch and flavor complexity.
Serve this guacamole immediately with tortilla chips, tacos, or grilled meats. Leftovers can be stored carefully to reduce oxidation by pressing plastic wrap directly on the surface.
Ingredients
- 3 avocado ripe
- ½ yellow onion finely diced, small
- 2 Roma tomato diced
- 3 tablespoons cilantro finely chopped, fresh
- 1 jalapeno pepper seeds removed and finely diced
- 2 garlic minced, cloves
- 1 lime juiced
- ½ teaspoon salt sea salt
Instructions
- Slice the avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop into a mixing bowl.
- Mash the avocado with a fork and make it as chunky or smooth as you'd like.
- Add the remaining ingredients and stir together. Give it a taste test and add a pinch more salt or lime juice if needed.
- Serve the guacamole with tortilla chips.
Notes
- Use fresh limes rather than bottled lime juice for the best flavor.
- Mexican limes yield about 1 to 2 tablespoons of juice; adjust quantity as needed.
- Choose large ripe avocados for this recipe; add an extra avocado if only small ones are available.
- To keep leftover guacamole fresh and green, store in airtight containers with plastic wrap pressed on the surface.
