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
  • 1 tbsp (15 ml) fresh lime juice
  • 1/2 tsp (3 g / 0.11 oz) salt, or to taste
  • 1/2 tsp (1 g / 0.04 oz) ground black pepper
  • 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.

  4. Add the fresh lime juice, salt, and black pepper.
  5. Stir everything together until just combined.
  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.
  9. Taste and adjust seasonings right before serving. You may need an extra pinch of salt or a squeeze of lime to make the flavors pop.
