Simple Guacamole
 
Prep time
Total time
 
Ingredients
  • 2 ripe avocados
  • ¼ cup minced red onion
  • 1 jalapeño, seeds and ribs removed, then minced
  • ¼ cup chopped cilantro
  • juice of 1 lime
  • ½ tsp salt, or to taste
  • chips, or carrot chips, for serving
Instructions
  1. Starting at the stem, cut down and around the avocado before twisting the halves apart. Using a spoon, scoop the avocado flesh into a medium bowl. You can use a knife to take out the large pit, or just gently squeeze the avocado half and the pit with loosen enough for you to pick it out.
  2. Use a fork to mash the avocado, but take care not to mash it too much. It'll break down further when you stir in the other ingredients.
  3. Add the remaining ingredients to the bowl and stir to combine. Taste for seasoning and add more salt if necessary.
  4. Cover with plastic wrap and let it sit in the fridge for about 30 minutes so the flavors can combine. (For some reason, this step seems to make the dish. Chilled guacamole always seems to taste better.)
  5. Serve with crispy chips, carrot chips, quesadillas, etc.
