Ingredients

  • ¼ red onion (finely chopped)
  • 1 Jalapeño chopped

  • ⅓ cup cilantro
  • ½ ripe tomato finely chopped

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Cut perfectly ripe avocados into half lengthwise. Remove and discard the pit. Using a spoon scoop out the flesh, and add it to a large mixing bowl. Squeeze fresh lime juice over it.
  2. Add a generous pinch of sea salt to the avocado, this will prevent the avocado from oxidizing and turning brown.
  3. Using a fork mash avocado. Do not over-mash or puree avocados. It needs to have some texture.
  4. Add the rest of the ingredients diced red onions, minced garlic, diced tomatoes, chopped jalapenos, and fresh cilantro. Mix until combined. Taste and adjust seasoning as required. If you like extra punch add more jalapenos.
  5. It’s BEST to serve guacamole as soon as it’s made. These are great with nachos or tortilla chips.
