- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (chopped)
- 1 garlic clove (minced)
- Juice of 1 lime
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Mash the Avocados: In a medium bowl, mash the avocados to your desired consistency using a fork or potato masher, creating a creamy base for the guacamole.
- Add Fresh Ingredients: Add the diced Roma tomato, finely chopped red onion, minced jalapeño, chopped cilantro, and minced garlic to the mashed avocados.
- Season and Combine: Pour in the fresh lime juice, then sprinkle in the salt and black pepper. Stir all ingredients together thoroughly until well combined.
- Adjust Seasoning and Serve: Taste the guacamole and adjust the seasoning if needed. Serve immediately with tortilla chips or use as a topping for tacos, burritos, or grilled meats.
Notes
- To keep guacamole fresh longer, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface to minimize air exposure and prevent browning.
- For a creamier texture, add a spoonful of sour cream to the mixture.
- Add extra lime juice or hot sauce to boost the flavor and add more zest or heat.
