Equipment

  • Sharp Knife

Ingredients

  • 4 ripe avocados (soft but not mushy to the touch)
  • ¼ yellow onion, diced **Red or sweet onion will work too
  • 1 handful of cilantro leaves, chopped
  • 1 jalapeno or serrano, finely diced
  • 3 cherry tomatoes, diced (optional)
  • 1 large clove of garlic, minced
  • 1-2 limes, juiced, to taste
  • Sea salt, to taste

Instructions

  • Slice the avocados lengthwise around the seed. Gently hit the blade of the knife on the half of the avocado with the seed and twist–the seed should come out easily. 
  • Either scoop out the avocado flesh with a spoon or dice it into segments in a crosshatch pattern, then spoon it into a bowl.
  • Add the remaining ingredients together without smashing the avocado too much. Side Note: Make sure to add the lime, as it not only makes the flavor of the guacamole pop, but also keeps the avocado from going brown.
  • Serve with fresh tortilla chips or as a topping for any of your favorite Mexican dishes.
