Servings: 6 servings
Calories: 168kcal
Ingredients
- 3 large Hass avocados
- 1 lime juiced (1-1/2 tablespoons)
- kosher salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/4-1/2 teaspoon cayenne optional for heat
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped onion my favorite is sweet yellow, but white, red, or even scallions work too
- 2 teaspoons jalapeño seeded and minced, optional
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon cilantro chopped
Instructions
- Cut the avocados in half lengthwise. Remove the pit, remove the avocado from the skin, and place into a bowl.
- Add the lime juice, salt, cumin, and cayenne (if using) and mash with a potato masher, fork, or pastry cutter until half chunky, half smooth, and creamy. Fold in the onions, garlic, and fresh cilantro.
- Serve with tortilla chips, pita chips, or cut veggies.
Notes
If the avocados are firm, use a pastry cutter -- it makes the job a LOT easier! Also, I read that if you need to refrigerate the guacamole, place half an onion on top to preserve its color. It actually works!
