Servings 4 people
Ingredients
- 3 ripe Hass avocados
- 1 Roma tomato seeded
- 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
- 1 to 2 serrano chile pepper, seeded and membrane removed, as per desired heat
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
- 2 tablespoons lime juice, or to taste
- 1/2 to 3/4 teaspoon Kosher salt, or to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin, optional
Instructions
- Cut 3 avocados lengthwise, around the pit. Remove the pit, and scoop the avocado into a mixing bowl.
- Mash with the back of a fork, until it is smooth or chunky, depending on the desired consistency.
- Add the rest of the ingredients. Mix it well. Taste-test and adjust with more salt, lime juice, or cilantro.
- Serve immediately or check FAQ’s listed in the post for storage suggestions. Guacamole is best served at room temperature!
Notes
- Add salt and lime juice, to taste. Start with half of the amount and increase gradually, tasting as you go! You may need more or less lime juice depending on the size of the avocados.
- You can chop the onion, cilantro, and garlic (if using) along with a pinch of salt in the food processor. Then add it to the mashed avocado along with lime juice, diced tomatoes, and more salt, as needed. Mix and serve!
- For a chunkier guacamole, mash half of the avocados to a smooth consistency and dice the remaining into small chunks. Add that along with the rest of the ingredients and mix.
