Instructions

  • Mix Ingredients: Add the avocados to a bowl and lightly mash. To it add the tomatoes, jalapeno pepper, onion, cilantro, lime juice and lightly mix.
  • Season: Season with salt and pepper as needed. Chill until ready to use.
  • Serve: Serve with crackers or tortilla chips.

Notes

  1. Choose ripe avocados: To get the best flavor and texture, use ripe avocados that yield slightly to gentle pressure. Avoid overripe avocados, which can make your guacamole mushy.
  2. Prevent browning: To keep your guacamole fresh and green, add a little extra lime juice, which slows down the oxidation process. If storing, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the guacamole to reduce air exposure and refrigerate.
  3. Customize heat level: Adjust the spiciness to your liking by adding more or less jalapeño. You can also use a pinch of cayenne pepper or a splash of hot sauce to add heat.
  4. Fresh ingredients: Use fresh cilantro, tomatoes, and lime juice for the best flavor. Fresh ingredients make a noticeable difference in taste and quality.
  5. Taste and adjust: Don't be afraid to taste your guacamole and adjust the seasoning as needed. Add more salt, lime juice, or other ingredients to create your perfect flavor balance.
  6. Experiment with add-ins: Try adding other ingredients to your guacamole, such as diced mango, pomegranate seeds, or crumbled feta cheese for a unique twist.
  7. Serve with a variety: Offer a variety of dippers, such as tortilla chips, pita chips, cucumber slices, and carrot sticks, to cater to different tastes and dietary preferences.
