Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 3 Ripe Hass avocados
  • 1/2 cup Finely chopped onion
  • 1/2 cup Chopped ripe tomato
  • 1/4 cup Chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 Seeded and finely minced jalapeno pepper
  • 2 tablespoons Key lime juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt

Method
 

Step-by-Step
  1. Halve and pit the avocados, then scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash gently with a fork, leaving some small chunks for a traditional chunky texture.
  2. Fold in the finely chopped onion, chopped tomato, fresh cilantro, and minced seeded jalapeno. Add the Key lime juice and salt, then mix gently until combined.
  3. Taste the guacamole and adjust the salt, lime juice, or jalapeno as desired. Serve immediately with tortilla chips or alongside tacos and grilled foods.

Notes

Choose Hass avocados that yield slightly to gentle pressure without feeling soft or watery. Add the lime juice soon after mashing, and if holding the guacamole briefly, press plastic wrap directly onto its surface to limit air exposure and slow browning. For the best texture, fold in the tomato near the end rather than stirring vigorously.
