Ingredients
  

Guacamole base
  • 3 avocados Ripe, halved and pitted
  • 0.5 white onion Finely diced
  • 1 jalapeño Minced
  • 0.25 cup fresh cilantro Chopped
  • 1 Roma tomato Diced
  • 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • salt To taste
  • pepper To taste
  • tortilla chips For serving

Method
 

Mash and season
  1. Scoop the avocado flesh into a medium bowl.
  2. Mash the avocados with a fork until your desired consistency is reached, from chunky to smooth.
  3. Fold in the diced white onion, minced jalapeño, chopped cilantro, and diced Roma tomato.
  4. Add the fresh lime juice and gently toss to combine.
  5. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve or prevent browning
  1. Transfer the guacamole to a serving bowl and serve immediately with warm tortilla chips.
  2. If not serving immediately, place plastic wrap directly on the surface of the guacamole to prevent browning.

Notes

Pro tip: mash the avocados first, then fold in the tomato and onion so the guacamole stays vibrant with visible red pieces. Store covered in the fridge with plastic wrap pressed directly on the surface for up to 24 hours (browning may still occur). Freeze not recommended. For a dairy-free and gluten-free dip, serve with corn tortilla chips (instead of wheat) if needed.
