Ingredients
3 large ripe avocados
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
0.5 teaspoon sea salt
0.25 cup fresh cilantro leaves, finely chopped
0.25 cup white onion, finely minced
1 small serrano pepper, finely minced (optional)
Instructions
Slice the avocados in half lengthwise and remove the pits carefully.
Scoop the avocado flesh into a medium mixing bowl.
Mash the avocado pieces with a fork until they reach a chunky, rustic consistency.
Add the freshly squeezed lime juice, salt, minced onion, and chopped cilantro.
Fold the ingredients gently to combine while maintaining the desired texture.
Taste the mixture and incorporate more salt or lime juice if desired.
Notes
Select avocados that yield to gentle pressure for the best creaminess. Do not over-mash, as this creates a pasty consistency that ruins the texture. Store leftovers by pressing plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the guacamole to prevent oxidation.
