Ingredients

  • 3 large avocados
  • ½ lime juiced
  • ¼ tsp. sea salt
  • 1 jalapeno pepper seeded and finely minced
  • 2 Tb. onion finely diced
  • ¼ cup fresh cilantro finely chopped

Instructions

  • Carefully cut the avocados in half, remove the avocado pits and scoop out the flesh.
  • Squeeze in the juice from half of a lime and add salt.
  • Mash the avocado with a fork or potato masher until it reaches your desired consistency (lumpy vs. smooth)
  • Add in the diced jalapeno, onion and cilantro
  • Stir with a spoon to blend thoroughly.
  • If you're not serving immediately, press plastic wrap directly against the top of the guacamole to eliminate air exposure and help it stay fresh and prevent browning.

Notes

For a slightly different take on guacamole, you could try adding a little bit of diced tomato along with your cilantro onions and jalapeno.
