Ingredients
- Ripe avocados: 3 medium (approx. 450g or 16oz)
- Lime juice: 2 tablespoons (30ml)
- Fresh cilantro (coriander): 1/4 cup chopped (15g)
- Jalapeño pepper: 1 medium, seeded and finely chopped
- Garlic cloves: 2, minced
- Red onion: 1 small, finely chopped (about 1/4 cup or 40g)
- Tomato: 1 medium, diced (about 1/2 cup or 80g)
- Salt: 1 teaspoon (5g), or to taste
- Black pepper: 1/2 teaspoon (2g), or to taste
- Cumin: 1/2 teaspoon (1g)
- Hot sauce: 1-2 teaspoons (5-10ml), adjust to taste (optional, for extra heat)
Instructions
- Prepare the Avocados: Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a large bowl. Use a fork or a potato masher to mash the avocados to your desired consistency—smooth or chunky.
- Add Lime Juice: Pour in the lime juice and mix it into the mashed avocado. This not only adds flavor but helps prevent browning.
- Incorporate the Vegetables: Add the finely chopped jalapeño, minced garlic, chopped red onion, and diced tomato to the bowl. Stir gently to combine.
- Season the Guacamole: Sprinkle in the salt, black pepper, and cumin. Mix well. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. If you like extra heat, add a few dashes of hot sauce and mix again.
- Add Cilantro: Gently fold in the chopped cilantro. This adds a fresh, herbaceous note that complements the spiciness.
- Chill and Serve: For best results, cover the guacamole with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface to prevent browning, and refrigerate for about 30 minutes before serving.
- Final Touch: Before serving, give the guacamole a final stir and taste. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
