Quick Fresh Guacamole Recipe
This quick fresh guacamole comes together in minutes for a bright, flavorful dip. Ripe avocados are mashed and folded with crisp red onion, juicy tomatoes, and a kick of fresh jalapeño. A generous squeeze of lime juice adds zesty acidity while keeping the bright green color intact. It is the perfect addition to taco night or a casual afternoon snack with tortilla chips.
Ingredients
- 1 small jalapeño chile*
- 2 ripe large avocados
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime or lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro
- ¼ to ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 small clove garlic, finely chopped
- 1 small tomato, seeded, chopped ( ½ cup)
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped red onion
Instructions
- 1Cut the jalapeño in half to remove the stems, seeds, and ribs, then finely chop the pepper.
- 2Slice the avocados in half lengthwise, discard the pits, and scoop the flesh into a medium glass or plastic bowl. Mash the avocado with a fork until it reaches your preferred consistency.
- 3Add the chopped jalapeño, lime juice, fresh cilantro, salt, minced garlic, diced tomato, and red onion to the bowl.
- 4Stir the ingredients together gently until everything is evenly distributed throughout the mashed avocado.
