Ingredients:

  • 4 medium/large Hass Avocados, ripe, halved, pitted
  • 1/4 cup Red Onion, very finely diced
  • 1/2 cup Roma Tomatoes, seeded and finely diced
  • 1 small or 1/2 medium Jalapeño Pepper, seeded and minced
  • 1/4 cup Fresh Cilantro, roughly chopped
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh Lime Juice (about 1 large lime)
  • 1/2 teaspoon Kosher Salt, plus more to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper, freshly ground
  • Optional Pinch Ground Cumin

Instructions:

  1. Finely dice the red onion, deseeded tomatoes, jalapeño, and cilantro. Place them immediately into the mixing bowl.
  2. Add the lime juice, kosher salt, pepper, and optional cumin to the aromatics. Stir well to combine; this allows the lime to start softening the onion.
  3. Scoop the flesh of the ripe avocados into the bowl. Using a fork or potato masher, gently pulse/mash the avocado to achieve a chunky texture, avoiding a smooth consistency.
  4. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the mashed avocado mixture into the aromatics. Stop mixing as soon as everything is just incorporated.
  5. Taste the Guacamole immediately and adjust seasoning, adding more salt or lime juice as necessary for a bright flavour.
  6. Serve immediately with tortilla chips or press plastic wrap directly onto the surface to prevent browning if preparing ahead.
