Scale
Avocado Base
- 2 ripe avocados, peeled and diced
- 1 ripe avocado, peeled and mashed
Vegetables & Herbs
- 1/3 cup red onion, finely diced
- 1/2 cup ripe tomatoes, diced
- 1 small jalapeño, seeded and finely diced
- 2 teaspoons garlic, minced
- 1/3 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

- 2 tablespoons lime juice

Instructions
- Combine ingredients: In a large bowl, add the diced and mashed avocados together with finely diced red onion, tomatoes, jalapeño, minced garlic, and chopped cilantro. This mix ensures the guacamole has a nice texture with both creamy and chunky components.
- Season: Drizzle the lime juice over the bowl to add brightness and prevent the avocado from browning. Sprinkle cumin and kosher salt to your taste to enhance the flavors, adjusting seasonings as desired.
- Mix gently: Using a spoon, gently fold all the ingredients together, being careful not to over-mash the avocado to maintain the chunky texture that characterizes this guacamole.
- Serve immediately: For the freshest taste and best texture, serve the guacamole right away with chips, tacos, or as a garnish for your favorite Mexican dishes.
Notes
- To keep the guacamole from browning if you need to store it, cover tightly with plastic wrap pressed directly on the surface.
- Adjust the quantity of jalapeño to control the heat level.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a dash of smoked paprika or a few drops of hot sauce.
- Use fresh lime juice for the best taste; bottled lime juice can alter the flavor.
