Ingredients

  • 1 Jalapeño minced
  • ¼ cup chopped cilantro minced
  • ½ red onion finely diced
  • 3 avocados medium sized, ripe
  • 1 teaspoon salt adjust to taste
  • 1 lime for juice

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Remove the stem and deseed one jalapeno. Slice it into the finest dice you can - I typically slice them into four vertical pieces and then dice them further. Set aside in a small bowl.  
  2. Chop up about ¼ cup of fresh cilantro using a chiffonade (i.e. roll them tightly together and chop away).
  3. Add both to a mortar and mash them together using a pestle. Or, if you have a food processor, just pulse them 1-2 times until they're evenly mixed in.
  4. Chop up ½ red onion into a fine dice of equal sized pieces. Set aside.
  5. Finally, chop up 3 avocados - split them in half, remove the pit, criss-cross the flesh and scoop out with a spoon into a large mixing bowl. 
  6. Add the diced red onions, cilantro-jalapeno mixture, 1 teaspoon of salt, and juice from half a lime. Mix well together using a serving fork, pestle, or the back of a large spoon.
  7. Squeeze the other half of lime on top, add some flaky salt if you'd like, and dig in with a chip! 

Notes

  • To get the perfect chunky consistency, criss-crossing the avocado is a great trick - if you want your guacamole more mashed, just use a masher 
  • You can also increase the red onions or jalapeno to your taste, add red pepper flakes, garlic, fresh tomatoes, and a number of other things to this guacamole - it's super versatile!
