Ingredients

Guacamole

  • 3 avocados, pitted
  • 1 small jalapeño, seeds removed if desired, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, plus more for serving
  • 1/4 cup small white or red onion, finely chopped
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (or more to taste)

To Serve

  • Tortilla chips

Instructions

  1. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the pitted avocados, finely chopped jalapeño, chopped cilantro, chopped onion, lime juice, and kosher salt. Use a fork to slowly mash and mix the ingredients while turning the bowl to ensure the guacamole remains chunky and well-incorporated.
  2. Adjust Seasoning: Taste the guacamole and add more kosher salt if necessary to enhance the flavors.
  3. Garnish and Serve: Top the guacamole with additional cilantro as a fresh garnish. Serve immediately with tortilla chips on the side for dipping.

Notes

  • Remove jalapeño seeds if you prefer a milder guacamole.
  • Use a fork for mashing to maintain a chunky texture instead of a smooth puree.
  • Serve immediately or cover with plastic wrap pressed directly onto the guacamole to prevent browning.
  • Adjust lime juice and salt to taste to balance acidity and seasoning.
