Ingredients

  • 4 avocados pitted and peels removed
  • Juice of 1 lime or to taste
  • 1 Roma tomato diced
  • ¼ cup diced red onion
  • ¼ cup cilantro chopped
  • 1 jalapeño ribs and seeds removed, minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt or to taste

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, mash the avocado flesh with a fork or potato masher.
  • Add all other ingredients and stir to combine.
  • Serve immediately or chill until serving.

Notes

~ Use a perfectly ripe avocado. The skin should be dark green to black with a slightly bumpy texture. It should yield to gentle pressure, but not be too soft or mushy. Remove the stem cap and the color underneath should be green or yellow.
~ Use plenty of lime juice to help prevent the avocado from browning and to add bright, fresh flavor.
~ Dice the tomato, red onion, jalapeño, and cilantro very finely.
~ Taste and adjust seasoning to your tastes.
Storing/Freezing
This guacamole is best served immediately.
I do not recommend freezing it.
