Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 ripe Hass avocados
Fresh Produce:
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) finely chopped red onion
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) chopped fresh cilantro
- ¼ cup (60 milliliters) finely chopped jalapeno (including seeds, or to taste)
Seasonings and Acids:
- 2 teaspoons (10 milliliters) lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- ¼ teaspoon (1.25 milliliters) kosher salt (or to taste)
Instructions
- Halve ripe avocados and extract the pits, carefully scooping the vibrant green flesh into a spacious mixing vessel.
- Drizzle freshly squeezed lime juice over the avocado and sprinkle sea salt, then gently mash using a fork until the mixture achieves a rustic, slightly chunky consistency.
- Introduce finely diced red onion, chopped cilantro, and minced jalapeno to the avocado base, gently incorporating them with a delicate folding motion to maintain the guacamole’s textural integrity.
- Conduct a comprehensive flavor assessment, calibrating the seasoning with additional salt or citrus notes to elevate the guacamole’s taste profile.
- For immediate consumption, transfer to a serving dish. If preparing in advance, create an airtight seal by pressing plastic wrap directly against the guacamole’s surface to prevent oxidation, then refrigerate until ready to serve.
Notes
- Prevent browning by keeping the avocado pits in the guacamole or pressing plastic wrap directly onto the surface to minimize air exposure.
- Customize heat levels by adjusting jalapeno quantities or removing seeds for a milder version.
- Select ripe avocados with slight give when gently squeezed, ensuring creamy texture and rich flavor.
- Prep ingredients just before serving to maintain freshness and vibrant colors of cilantro and onions.
