Description

This Fast & Easy Guacamole recipe is a quick and flavorful classic Mexican dip, perfect for gatherings or a simple snack. Made with ripe avocados, fresh vegetables, and zesty lime juice, it delivers creamy texture with vibrant, tangy flavors. Ready in just 10 minutes, it suits both novice and experienced cooks looking for a healthy, satisfying accompaniment.


Ingredients

Guacamole

  • 3 ripe avocados, halved and pitted
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 small tomato, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small jalapeño, seeded and finely chopped (optional)
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste


Instructions

  1. Scoop Avocados: Scoop the avocado flesh into a medium-sized bowl carefully, ensuring to leave the skins behind.
  2. Mash Avocados: Use a fork or potato masher to mash the avocado to your preferred texture, whether chunky or smooth.
  3. Add Vegetables and Seasonings: Add the finely chopped onion, diced tomato, minced garlic, chopped jalapeño if desired, fresh lime juice, and chopped cilantro to the mashed avocado.
  4. Combine Ingredients: Stir all ingredients together thoroughly until well mixed and evenly distributed.
  5. Season to Taste: Add salt and pepper to taste, adjusting lime juice or cilantro quantity as needed to balance flavors.
  6. Serve: Serve the guacamole immediately alongside chips, fresh vegetables, or use it as a topping for tacos, burritos, or bowls.

Notes

  • For a spicier guacamole, leave some jalapeño seeds in or add extra jalapeño.
  • To keep guacamole from browning, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface before refrigerating.
  • Use fresh lime juice for the best flavor and to enhance freshness.
  • Adjust texture by mashing less or more depending on your preference.
  • Serve immediately for best taste, as guacamole tastes freshest right after preparation.
