Guacamole is a classic, creamy avocado dip packed with fresh flavors like onion, cilantro, lime, and a hint of spice from jalapeños. It’s perfect for dipping, spreading, or as a topping for a wide variety of dishes.
- 3 ripe avocados
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1-2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 small tomato, diced
- 1 jalapeño, finely chopped (optional)
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Prepare the avocados: Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a medium-sized bowl. Mash the avocado with a fork until it's slightly chunky or smooth, depending on your preference.
- Add the vegetables: Stir in the finely chopped onion, garlic, tomato, and jalapeño (if using). Mix well.
- Season and finish: Add the fresh cilantro, lime juice, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir everything together until well combined.
- Serve: Serve immediately with tortilla chips, or use as a topping for tacos, burritos, or any Mexican-inspired dish.
