Ingredients
- 3 avocados medium sized, ripe
- ½ red onion finely diced
- 1 jalapeno minced
- ¼ cup chopped cilantro minced
- 1 teaspoon salt adjust to taste
- 1 lime for juice
Instructions
- Slice up the jalapenos into the finest chunks you can - I typically slice them into four vertical pieces and then mince them
- Slice up the cilantro using a chiffonade (i.e. roll them tightly together and chop away)
- If you have a food processor, pulse them together coarsely - two to three pulses is enough. If you don't, use a pestle or a blunt spoon and mash together as much as possible
- Chop up the red onions into a fine dice
- Finally, chop up the avocados - split them in half, remove pit, criss-cross the flesh and scoop out with a spoon into a bowl.
- Add the cilantro-jalapeno mixture on top, followed by red onions, salt, and juice from half a lime. Mix well together using a serving fork, pestle, or the back of a large spoon
- Squeeze the other half of lime on top, add some flaky salt if you'd like, and dig in with a chip!
Notes
- To get the perfect chunky consistency, criss-crossing the avocado is a great trick - if you want your guacamole more mashed, just use a masher
- You can also increase the red onions or jalapeno to your taste, add red pepper flakes, garlic, fresh tomatoes, and a number of other things to this guacamole - it's super versatile!
