Instructions
- Use a spoon to remove the flesh of 2 avocados from the shell. Put the avocado in a mixing bowl and use a fork or potato masher to mash the avocado. You can leave it smooth or chunky depending on preference.
- Add all of the ingredients (¼ cup yellow onion, juice of 1 lime, 2 tbsp cilantro, ¾ tsp salt, 1 tomato, and 1 jalapeño) into the mixing bowl with the avocado. Stir to combine. Enjoy!
Notes
- Recipe copyright The Foreign Fork. For educational or personal use only.
- Pick an avocado that squishes
- slightly
- when you press it. You don’t want it to be rock hard, but you also don’t want it to be too squishy. A slight give when you press the skin is the sign of a perfect avocado.
- This recipe calls for minced yellow onions, but you can also use red onions if you prefer
- Use the seeds if you want a spicy guacamole. Remove the seeds if you want some crunch with not a lot of spice.
- Use a serrated knife to cut your tomato. It is so much easier and way less messy!
- You can leave your guacamole a little chunky if you want, but you can also mash it completely smooth. This is up to your preference, but I always enjoy a few lumps.
- I try to stay away from the powdered guacamole packs as much as I can. Those packages include powdered versions of the ingredients we have listed in this recipe, so this makes a far more delicious and natural-tasting dish!
