A creamy, flavorful guacamole made with ripe avocados, lime, onion, jalapeño, garlic, cilantro and optional tomato—a heartwarming dip inspired by family traditions and beloved by all.
Cut avocados in half, remove pits, and scoop flesh into a medium bowl.
Mash the avocados with a fork, leaving some chunks.
Add lime juice immediately and stir.
Stir in red onion, jalapeño, garlic and salt.
Fold in diced tomato and cilantro last.
Taste and adjust salt or lime as needed.
Let sit for 5 minutes to let flavors meld before serving.
Notes
Store with plastic wrap pressed on surface or keep the pit in to reduce browning. For longer storage, freeze avocado base (avocado, lime, salt) and add aromatics after thawing.
