Ingredients
Scale
- 3 ripe avocados
- 1/2 small red onion, finely diced
- 1–2 serrano peppers, finely minced (seeds removed for less heat)
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
Instructions
- Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a medium bowl.
- Mash the avocado with a fork until it reaches your desired consistency. Leave some chunks for texture.
- Add the diced red onion, minced serrano peppers, chopped cilantro, lime juice, and salt to the bowl.
- Stir gently to combine all ingredients.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Add more salt or lime juice for a brighter flavor.
- Serve immediately with tortilla chips or as a topping.
Notes
- To keep your guacamole green for longer, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the guacamole, ensuring no air pockets, and refrigerate.
- For a smoother guacamole, you can use a food processor, but be careful not to over-process.
- If you don’t have serrano peppers, jalapeños can be substituted.
- Consider adding a diced Roma tomato for extra flavor and color, but this is optional for a classic recipe.
