Ingredients
Scale
- 3 avocados (ripe)
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) lime juice
- 1 small red onion (finely diced)
- 2 small Roma tomatoes (finely diced)
- ¼ cup fresh cilantro (chopped)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- ½ teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
- ¼ teaspoon ground cumin (optional)
- 12 jalapeños (finely chopped, seeded for less heat)
Instructions
- Preparation: Slice ripe avocados in half, remove pits, and transfer creamy flesh into a generous mixing bowl.
- Texture Creation: Mash avocados with a fork, maintaining a rustic blend of smooth and chunky consistencies to preserve delightful textural elements.
- Flavor Fusion: Integrate finely minced red onion, jalapenos, diced Roma tomatoes, fresh cilantro, crushed garlic, lime juice, cumin, and salt into the avocado base, thoroughly mixing to ensure uniform flavor distribution.
- Taste Refinement: Conduct a flavor assessment, adjusting seasoning by incorporating additional lime juice for brightness, salt for depth, or extra jalapenos to elevate the heat profile.
- Serving Presentation: Immediately transfer the vibrant guacamole to a serving dish, accompanying with crisp tortilla chips or utilizing as a versatile topping for tacos, gourmet burgers, and crisp salads.
Notes
- Prevent Browning: Squeeze extra lime juice over the guacamole’s surface to block oxidation and maintain a fresh, bright green color.
- Texture Control: Mash avocados with a fork for a rustic feel, avoiding over-mixing to preserve chunky elements that enhance mouthfeel and visual appeal.
- Customize Heat Level: Adjust jalapeno quantity based on personal spice tolerance, removing seeds for milder flavor or adding more for intense kick.
- Serve Fresh: Consume guacamole immediately after preparation to enjoy peak flavor and optimal creamy consistency, as it quickly loses texture and brightness when stored.
