- 3 ripe avocados
- 1/2 cup finely chopped red onion
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1–2 serrano peppers, minced (seeds removed for less heat)
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Optional: 1/2 cup diced tomato
- Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a medium bowl.
- Mash the avocado with a fork until it reaches your desired consistency. For chunky guacamole, leave some larger pieces.
- Add the chopped red onion, cilantro, minced serrano peppers, lime juice, and salt to the bowl.
- Stir gently to combine all ingredients.
- If using, gently fold in the diced tomato.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Add more salt or lime juice to your preference.
- Serve immediately or cover tightly with plastic wrap, pressing the wrap directly onto the surface of the guacamole to prevent browning.
Notes
- To prevent browning, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the guacamole before refrigerating.
- For a smoother guacamole, you can mash the avocados more thoroughly.
- Adjust the amount of serrano pepper to control the spice level.
- This guacamole is a great side for taco night or a perfect party dip for game day.
