3 ripe avocados, halved, seeded, and peeled
1 lime, juiced
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin (optional)
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
1/2 medium onion, finely diced
2 Roma tomatoes, seeded and diced
1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
1 clove garlic, minced
1
Mash the Avocados:
In a medium bowl, use a fork or potato masher to mash the avocados. The consistency should be slightly chunky.
2
Add Flavorings:
To the mashed avocados, add the lime juice, salt, cumin, and cayenne pepper. Mix well.
3
Mix in the Aromatics:
Stir in the onion, tomatoes, cilantro, and minced garlic. Mix until just combined.
4
Adjust Seasonings:
Taste the guacamole and adjust the seasoning with additional salt, lime juice, or cayenne pepper if needed.
5
Serve:
Serve immediately, or place a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface of the guacamole and refrigerate until ready to serve. This helps prevent oxidation and browning.
