Easy Homemade Guacamole
Homemade guacamole with cilantro, jalapeño, onion, and fresh lime juice is a beloved appetizer that's perfect with tortilla chips, nachos, tacos, and margaritas!
Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 3 ripe Hass avocados about 1 1/4 pounds
- 1/4 cup cilantro minced
- 1/4 cup onion diced
- 1 large jalapeno seeded, diced
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice plus more to taste
- 1 teaspoon salt plus more to taste
Instructions
- Cut ripe avocados in half and twist to separate the two sides. Press the pit out of the avocado or remove a spoon and discard. With a large spoon, scoop the avocado fruit into a large mixing bowl. Discard the skins.
- Remove any blemished dark spots and discard. Mash the avocado with a potato masher or fork, leaving some texture, and add the lime juice and salt.
- Add the onion, cilantro, and jalapeno and gently mix everything together. Taste test and season with more salt and/or lime juice if needed. Serve immediately with tortilla chips. Enjoy!
Notes
- Use the freshest and most ripe avocados you can find.
- Do not hold back on salt.
- Serving your guacamole right away is optimal, but if you have to store it, you can place it in a container, smooth the top off, then add a little water, and place it in the fridge. When you're ready to eat, drain the water and serve.
