Ingredients

• To prepare this delicious and authentic guacamole, gather the following ingredients:
• 3 ripe avocados
• 1/2 cup chopped red onions
• 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
• 1/3 cup chopped jalapeños (adjust to taste)
• 1/8 cup lemon and lime juice (80/20 mix)
• A pinch of salt
• Feel free to customize the flavor profile to your liking. If you prefer a milder guacamole, consider using fewer jalapeños or opting for a sweeter onion like Vidalia. On the other hand, if you love an extra kick, swap in some diced serrano peppers or even a dash of your favorite hot sauce.

Preparation Method

1. Select ripe avocados that yield slightly to pressure.
2. Cut each avocado in half and remove the pit, then scoop the flesh into a bowl.
3. Mash the avocados to your desired consistency using a fork or potato masher.
4. Add chopped red onions and cilantro to the bowl.
5. Add a small amount of chopped jalapeños, mixing thoroughly.
6. Pour in lemon and lime juice, and sprinkle with salt.
7. Stir all ingredients together gently and taste to adjust seasoning.
8. Transfer guacamole to a serving bowl and garnish with extra cilantro or jalapeño slices if desired.
9. Serve immediately with tortilla chips, vegetables, or tacos.

Tips and Conclusion

Guacamole is best enjoyed fresh, but if you find yourself with leftovers, you’ll want to store them properly to maintain the herbal freshness. To do so, transfer your guacamole to an airtight container and press a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface of the guacamole. This helps to limit air exposure and slow down the browning process. Refrigerate it for up to two days—though the sooner you eat it, the better!

For variations, consider adding diced tomatoes or corn for a fresh twist. A sprinkle of smoked paprika can add a unique, smoky flavor profile that pairs wonderfully with barbecue dishes. You can also experiment with other herbs, like dill or parsley, for a different aromatic experience.
