Ingredients
- 3 ripe avocados
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro (optional)
- 1 medium tomato, diced (optional)
- 1/4 onion, finely chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Avocados: Slice open the ripe avocados and carefully remove the pit. Use a spoon to scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl.
- Mash and Mix: Using a fork or a potato masher, mash the avocados to your desired consistency—smooth or chunky.
- Add Flavor: Stir in freshly squeezed lime juice, minced garlic, salt, and any additional ingredients like diced tomatoes and onion. Mix until combined, then taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
- Serve Immediately: Store in an airtight container if not serving right away, but do enjoy it fresh for the best flavors!
Notes
For a smoky twist, add a dash of smoked paprika or chipotle sauce. To keep guacamole from browning, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface before sealing.
