Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 ripe avocados
  • 1–2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped red onion (optional)
  • Salt to taste
  • 1 small jalapeño (optional)

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Pick the Right Avocados
  2. Press gently near the stem. If it gives slightly, you’re good. If it feels hard, wait. If it feels mushy, walk away.
  3. Ripe avocados make or break your guacamole. Period.
  4. Step 2: Mash the Avocados
  5. Scoop the flesh into a bowl. Use a fork and mash to your preferred texture.
  6. Do you like it creamy or chunky? I prefer a creamy chunky guacamole recipe restaurant style vibe. Smooth with small avocado pieces still intact.
  7. Step 3: Add Lime and Salt First
  8. Always add lime juice and salt before anything else. This step brightens flavor immediately and slows browning.
  9. Ever notice how lime wakes everything up? It’s not optional.
  10. Step 4: Mix in Extras
  11. Fold in cilantro, onion, and jalapeño gently. Don’t overmix. Keep texture alive.
  12. That’s it. Ten minutes max. No blender. No drama.
