Ingredients:

  • 3 ripe avocados (about 600g total), Haas avocados preferred
  • 1/2 medium white onion, finely diced (about 75g)
  • 2 Roma tomatoes, seeded and diced (about 150g)
  • 1-2 jalapeños, seeded and minced (or Serrano for extra heat) (about 15g)
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (about 15g)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (about 30ml)
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (about 3g)
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin (about 1g)
  • Pinch of cayenne pepper (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Halve the avocados, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into the bowl.
  2. Using a fork or potato masher, mash the avocados to your desired consistency.
  3. Incorporate the diced onion, tomatoes, and jalapeños to the bowl.
  4. Mix in the chopped cilantro.
  5. Add the lime juice, salt, cumin, and cayenne pepper (if using).
  6. Gently fold all the ingredients together until everything is evenly distributed.
  7. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. More lime for tang, more salt for flavor, more jalapeño for fire!
  8. Cover with plastic wrap pressed directly onto the surface of the guac and chill for 30 minutes (optional, but recommended).
