Ingredients
- 3 ripe avocados halved, pitted, and peeled
- 1 lime juiced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
- 1/2 medium onion finely diced
- 2 Roma tomatoes seeded and diced
- 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
- 1 clove garlic minced
Instructions
- Scoop the avocado pulp into a large bowl and add lime juice. Toss to coat, then drain and reserve the lime juice for later use.
- Using a potato masher, mash the avocados in the bowl. Add salt, cumin, and cayenne pepper while mashing to season the guacamole.
- Gently fold in the diced onions, tomatoes, cilantro, and minced garlic until evenly combined.
- Stir in 1 tablespoon of the reserved lime juice for added flavor and freshness. Let the guacamole rest at room temperature for 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
- Serve the guacamole fresh with tortilla chips, as a topping for tacos, or alongside your favorite Mexican-inspired dishes.
Notes
For an extra kick, add diced jalapeño or a splash of hot sauce. Store leftovers in an airtight container with a layer of lime juice or plastic wrap pressed directly onto the surface to minimize browning.
