The Best Classic Guacamole
Creamy avocado, fresh tomato, crunchy onion and bright cilantro come together to make the BEST classic guacamole.
Servings: 1 ½ cups guacamole
Ingredients
- 2 large ripe avocados, diced
- ¼ cup tomato, seeded and finely diced
- 2 tablespoon red onion, finely diced
- 1 tablespoon fresh jalapeño (more or less to taste), finely diced
- 1 ½ tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon fresh ground pepper
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a large bowl and stir to combine. Serve with tortilla chips.
Notes
Leave the seeds & ribs in the jalapeño for spicier guacamole, take them out to make it milder. The spice level of peppers can vary, so start with less and add more!
Be sure to seed your tomato and only use the meaty flesh, or it will water down your guacamole.
Air causes avocado to oxidize & turn brown quickly, so store leftover guacamole in an airtight container with a double layer of plastic wrap pushed right up against the surface to keep it fresher longer.
