Ingredients
Scale
- 3 avocados (ripe)
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) lime juice
- ½ teaspoons salt
- ¼ teaspoons ground cumin
- 2 Roma tomatoes (small)
- 1 red onion (small)
- ¼ cup cilantro (fresh, chopped)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 jalapeños (finely chopped, seeded for less heat)
Instructions
- Avocado Preparation: Slice ripe avocados in half, remove pits, and transfer flesh into a generous mixing bowl, creating a smooth or chunky base using a fork.
- Flavor Fusion: Introduce finely diced red onion, spicy jalapenos, ripe Roma tomatoes, fragrant cilantro, minced garlic, tangy lime juice, seasoning salt, and ground cumin into the avocado mixture.
- Harmonious Blending: Mix ingredients thoroughly, ensuring each component intertwines seamlessly, creating a vibrant and cohesive guacamole with balanced flavors and textures.
- Taste Calibration: Adjust seasoning by fine-tuning lime juice, salt, and pepper levels to perfectly match your personal flavor preferences.
- Serving Suggestion: Serve immediately with crisp tortilla chips or utilize as a versatile accompaniment for tacos, gourmet burgers, or fresh salads, showcasing the dip’s dynamic culinary potential.
Notes
- Choose Ripe Avocados: Select avocados that yield slightly to gentle pressure but aren’t mushy, ensuring creamy texture and optimal flavor.
- Control Ingredient Chunkiness: Mash avocados to your preferred consistency – from rustic and chunky to smooth and creamy – using a fork for best results.
- Balance Flavor Carefully: Taste and adjust seasonings gradually, adding lime juice, salt, and spices incrementally to prevent overwhelming the delicate avocado base.
- Prevent Browning Trick: Cover guacamole surface directly with plastic wrap or add extra lime juice to minimize oxidation and maintain fresh green color.
