This guacamole recipe adds a delightful twist to the classic, enhancing its flavor and texture.
Cut the avocados in half and remove the pits.
Use a spoon to easily scoop out the pit if it doesn't come out with the knife.
Scoop the avocado flesh into a bowl and mash it to your desired consistency.
For a chunkier guacamole, mash lightly; for a smoother texture, mash thoroughly.
Add the chopped tomatoes, diced jalapeño, minced red onion, and chopped cilantro to the bowl.
Mix gently to maintain a good texture and avoid over-mixing.
Squeeze the lime juice over the mixture and sprinkle with salt. Stir to combine.
Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed, adding more lime juice or salt to your preference.
Cover the guacamole with plastic wrap pressed directly onto the surface and refrigerate until ready to serve.
This step helps prevent browning and keeps the guacamole fresh.
