Ingredients
- 4 avocados
- 1/4 cup diced red onion
- 1 jalapeno seeded and diced
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
- 1/4 teaspoon salt or to taste
Instructions
- Dice the red onion and jalapeno, chop the cilantro, and mince the garlic. I use an alligator chopper to make quick work of all the dicing.
- Cut the avocados in half lengthwise and pop out the seed. Use a spoon to scoop out the flesh and put the avocado into a bowl.
- Mash the avocado with a fork - you want some large chunks in there, so don't pulverize it.
- Stir in the cilantro, diced onion, diced jalapeno, and minced garlic.
- Add about 1 tablespoon of lime juice and add a pinch of salt. Mix well and adjust the salt.
- Serve and dig in!
Notes
Chef Jenn's Tips
- Like your guac spicy? Use serrano chilis instead of jalapeno.
- Lime and salt are essential to guacamole. Start with the suggested amounts and add more to suit your taste buds.
- Fresh garlic adds the best flavor!
- You can add tomatoes, mango, sour cream, baby shrimp, and so much more to guacamole to transform the flavor.
