Authentic Mexican Guacamole
Avocados mixed with fresh ingredients to make the best authentic mexican restaurant style guacamole!
Ingredients
- 3 Haas Avocados
- 1/4 cup red onion finely diced
- 1/4 cup Roma tomatoes finely diced
- 1/4 cup cilantro leaves (no stems) chopped
- 1 small jalapeño (seeds and membrane removed) finely diced
- 1/2 tsp sea salt more or less to taste
- 1 Tbsp lime juice squeezed from about 3 key limes
Instructions
- Using a knife, slice avocados in half and remove the pits.
- Scoop the avocados out of the skin and add to a bowl. Mash avocados until the consistecy is smooth with just a few small lumps.
- Add remaining ingredients to the bowl and gently fold all of the ingredients together.
- Serve with tortilla chips or on top of your favorite mexican dish.
- Cover leftovers with plastic wrap and store in refrigerator.
Notes
Tip: Keep your guacamole fresher longer by covering your guacamole with plastic wrap. You can also squeeze extra lime juice on top. Gently push the wrap down into the bowl until it's touching the guacamole on the top. This helps keep air from getting to the guacamole and keeps it from turning brown as quickly.
Want more heat? Try using a Serrano Chile instead of a Jalapeño Chile. Jalapeños are milder than Serranos.
If you don't have limes, it is fine to use bottled lime juice instead.
