Ingredients
  

  • 3 medium ripe avocados
  • 1-2 Tablespoons lime juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
  • 1 jalapeno deseeded and finely minced
  • 2-3 Tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
  • 2 small tomatoes deseeded and diced
  • 1 clove garlic finely minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/8 teaspoon chipotle powder or chili powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Cut open avocados lengthwise, remove the pit, and use a spoon to scoop out the flesh into a medium-sized mixing bowl.
  2. Use a potato masher or fork and gently mash the avocado, leaving it a little bit chunky at this point.
  3. Add lime juice, garlic, red onion, jalapeno, cilantro, cumin, chipotle powder (if using), sea salt, and black pepper. Stir until evenly combined.
  4. Add tomatoes and stir until combined.
  5. Taste and add extra salt or lime juice if needed.
  6. Let sit for at least 30 minutes at room temperature before serving, or refrigerate if making more than 30 minutes ahead of time. To prevent browning, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the guacamole and store in an airtight container.
