  • Fork or potato masher
  • Knife for chopping
  • Nutrition Information (per serving, approximate):

Ingredients
  

  • 3 ripe avocados - peeled and pitted
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 1/4 cup red onion - finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro - chopped
  • 1 jalapeño - seeded and finely chopped (adjust to taste)
  • 2 cloves garlic - minced

Instructions
 

  • Mash the Avocados: In a medium bowl, use a fork or a potato masher to mash the avocados to your desired consistency. Some prefer it smooth, while others like it chunky.
  • Mix in Flavorings: Add the lime juice, chopped red onion, cilantro, jalapeño, and minced garlic to the mashed avocados. Gently stir until everything is well combined.
  • Season: Taste your guacamole and then season with salt and pepper. Adjust the seasoning as necessary, and if you're using tomato, gently fold it in now.
  • Serve: Transfer the guacamole to a serving bowl. If you're not serving it immediately, place a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface of the guacamole to prevent oxidation (browning).
