Ingredients

Guacamole Ingredients

  • 3 ripe organic Haas avocados
  • ½ red onion, chopped
  • 2 tomato-on-the-vine, diced
  • 2-3 tablespoons fresh cilantro
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 lime, freshly squeezed
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • Pinch of cayenne pepper
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. Prepare Avocados: Slice each avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the insides into a bowl. Using a fork, mash the avocado until as chunky or smooth as you'd like.
  2. Add Fresh Ingredients: Add the chopped red onion, diced tomatoes, fresh cilantro, and minced garlic to the mashed avocado.
  3. Season the Guacamole: Pour in the freshly squeezed lime juice and add sea salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir everything together to combine all the flavors evenly.
  4. Serve: Enjoy the guacamole immediately with tortilla chips, flatbread, or as a topping on your favorite dishes. For best flavor, serve fresh.

Notes

  • Use ripe avocados for the creamiest texture; they should yield slightly to gentle pressure.
  • Adjust the level of cayenne and red pepper flakes according to your spice preference.
  • To keep guacamole green and fresh, store it with plastic wrap pressed directly onto the surface and refrigerate if not serving immediately.
  • Fresh lime juice adds brightness and helps prevent browning, so don't skip it.
