Ingredients
  

  • 2 large , ripe avocados
  • 1 medium red tomato, finely diced
  • 1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup (60 g / 2.12 oz) canned jalapeños, drained and finely chopped

  • for Perfect Guacamole
  • To prevent browning, press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the guacamole before refrigerating. The lime juice also helps slow oxidation.
  • For a milder flavor, use fresh jalapeños and remove the seeds and white membranes before dicing. For extra heat, leave some seeds in.

  6. Serve immediately for the best flavor and color.
  7. Don't overmix!
  8. Stir the until they are just combined to maintain a good texture and prevent the guacamole from becoming mushy.
