Ingredients
-
3 ripe avocados

1 tablespoon fresh lime juice (about 1 lime)

¼ cup finely chopped red onion

-
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
-
½ teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
Instructions
-
Prep the Avocados:
Cut avocados in half, remove pits, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl. Mash with a fork until mostly smooth but slightly chunky. -
Add Fresh Ingredients:
Stir in the chopped red onion, minced jalapeño, and chopped cilantro. -
Season:
Add lime juice and salt. Mix well until combined. -
Taste and Adjust:
Adjust lime, salt, or jalapeño for your desired flavor and heat level. -
Serve:
Serve immediately with chips or use as a topping for tacos, burrito bowls, or grilled meats.
Notes
Choose avocados that are slightly soft to the touch—not mushy—for best texture.
Add lime juice immediately after mashing to prevent browning.
For smoother guac, mash longer; for chunky texture, mash less.
Want variety? Add chopped tomato, garlic, or a dash of chipotle powder.
For less heat, remove jalapeño seeds and membrane, or skip altogether.
