Full Recipe:
Ingredients:
- 3 ripe avocados
- 1 small red onion, finely diced
- 1-2 tomatoes, diced
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1-2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 jalapeño, seeds removed and finely diced (optional for heat)
- Juice of 2 limes
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Pinch of cumin (optional)
- Tortilla chips or vegetable sticks (for serving)
Instructions:
- Prepare Avocados:
- Cut the ripe avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the creamy flesh into a mixing bowl.
- Mash Avocados:
- Mash the avocados with a fork to your desired level of creaminess. Some prefer a chunkier guacamole, while others like it smoother.
- Add Lime Juice:
- Squeeze the juice of two limes into the mashed avocados. Lime not only adds flavor but also helps prevent the avocados from browning.
- Combine Ingredients:
- Add finely diced red onion, diced tomatoes, chopped cilantro, minced garlic, and diced jalapeño (if using) to the mashed avocados.
- Season:
- Season the guacamole with salt, pepper, and a pinch of cumin (if using). Adjust the seasoning according to your taste preferences.
- Mix Well:
- Gently mix all the ingredients together until well combined. Be careful not to overmix to maintain a chunky texture.
- Taste and Adjust:
- Taste the guacamole and adjust the lime, salt, or other seasonings if needed.
- Chill (Optional):
- If time allows, refrigerate the guacamole for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. However, you can also enjoy it immediately.
- Serve:
- Transfer the Best Vegan Guacamole to a serving bowl and serve with tortilla chips or vegetable sticks.
