Best-Ever Homemade Guacamole

You would be surprised how easy it is to whip up one of America's favorite dip — Guacamole! With this quick and straight to the point recipe, you can have it ready in 10 minutes!

📝 Ingredients

• 3 ripe avocados
• 1 lime (juiced)
• 1/2 small red onion (finely chopped)
• 1 jalapeño (seeds removed and finely chopped (optional for a spicier guacamole))
• 2 garlic cloves (minced)
• 1/4 cup fresh cilantro (chopped)
• 1 small roma tomato (seeded and chopped)
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
• Salt and pepper to taste

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Cut the avocados in half and remove the pits. Scoop out the flesh using a spoon and place it into a bowl.
2. 2Add the lime juice to the bowl with the avocados. Using a fork or a potato masher, mash the avocados until you achieve your desired consistency (chunky or creamy).
3. 3Now, mix in the chopped red onion, jalapeño (if using), minced garlic, chopped cilantro, chopped tomato, and ground cumin into the mashed avocados.
4. 4Season the guacamole with salt and pepper to taste. You may also adjust the lime juice and other ingredients as per your preference.
5. 5Cover the guacamole with plastic wrap, pressing it down directly onto the surface of the dip to prevent browning. Let it sit for at least 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
6. 6Give the guacamole one last stir before serving. Serve with your favorite tortilla chips or use as a topping on tacos, burritos, and other Mexican dishes.
