Description
A fresh and creamy homemade guacamole made with ripe avocados, zesty lime juice, red onion, jalapeño, and cilantro. This quick, no-cook dip is vibrant, flavorful, and perfect for serving with chips, tacos, or Mexican-inspired dishes.
Ingredients
3 ripe avocados
1/4 cup red onion, finely diced
1 small jalapeño, seeded and finely chopped
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice (plus more to taste)
1/2 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
1 roma tomato, diced (optional)
Instructions
- Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a medium mixing bowl.
- Mash the avocados with a fork until you reach your desired consistency, either chunky or smooth.
- Add the diced red onion, chopped jalapeño, and cilantro. Stir to combine evenly.
- Mix in the fresh lime juice and salt, stirring well to blend the flavors.
- If using, gently fold in the diced roma tomato.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with additional lime juice or salt as needed. Serve immediately.
Notes
Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface before refrigerating to reduce browning.
Guacamole is best served fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1–2 days.
Add garlic, hot sauce, or extra jalapeño for more flavor and heat.
For a minimalist version, use only avocado, lime juice, salt, and cilantro.
Do not reheat; serve chilled or at room temperature.
