As someone who’s explored various guacamole recipes, I’ve come to cherish this version for its simplicity and authentic taste.

- 3 ripe avocados,
- 1 lime, juiced,
- 1 small onion, finely chopped,
- 1 clove garlic, minced,
- 1 ripe tomato, chopped (optional),
- 1 small jalapeño, finely chopped (optional),
- Salt, to taste,
- Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional),
Start by halving and pitting the avocados. Scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl. Finely chop the onion, garlic, tomato, and jalapeño (if using), and set aside.
Using a fork or potato masher, gently mash the avocado until it reaches your desired consistency. Some prefer it chunky, while others like it smoother.
Mix in the lime juice immediately to prevent browning. Add the chopped onion, garlic, tomato, and jalapeño. Season with salt to taste. If you’re using cilantro, sprinkle it in last for a fresh finish.
Transfer the guacamole to a serving bowl. Serve immediately with your favorite chips or as a side to any Mexican dish. For best flavor, enjoy it fresh!
