Instructions
-
Cut the avocados in half, remove the seeds, and scoop out the flesh into a mixing bowl. Use a potato masher to mash the avocados to your desired level of smoothness. Some people prefer chunky guacamole, while others like it smoother.
-
Add the onion, tomatoes, jalapeño peppers, and garlic to the mashed avocados. Squeeze the juice of one lime over the mixture. Lime not only adds flavor but also helps prevent the avocados from browning. Sprinkle in the salt and add cilantro leaves to the mix. Mix all the ingredients together until everything is well combined.
-
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Serve your homemade guacamole with tortilla chips, tacos, burritos, or as a delicious dip for vegetables.
