Ingredients

  • 3 ripe avocados halved
  • 2 Tbsp red onion finely diced
  • 1 clove garlic grated
  • 1 lime juiced
  • 3 Tbsp chopped cilantro
  • 1/4 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/4 tsp Diamond kosher salt
  • 1/2 jalapeno chopped fine or 1/2 tsp hot pepper sauce (optional)

Instructions

  • Scoop avocados from skins using large spoon and cut into chunks.
  • Place avocado chunks in a mixing bowl with remaining ingredients and, using a fork, stir and begin mashing the avocado against the sides of the bowl until the guacamole is the consistency you like. I prefer leaving some chunkiness for texture.
  • Stir with a spoon to make sure everything is evenly distributed and taste. Adjust for seasoning adding more cilantro, lime juice, salt or heat as needed

Notes

if not serving right away press plastic wrap tightly against surface to keep from browning and store in the refrigerator up to 3 days
