Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 medium avocados, ripe but not mushy
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon citric acid powder
  • 2 serrano or jalapeño peppers, finely diced
  • 1 medium red onion, finely diced
  • 1/2 cup fresh squeezed lime juice (3-4 limes)
  • 1-2 small garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • Tortilla chips or vegetables for serving

Method
 

  1. Slice the avocados in half lengthwise and remove the pit. Scoop the flesh into a large bowl and mash. If using, stir in the citric acid powder.
  2. Add the finely diced peppers, red onion, lime juice, minced garlic, chopped cilantro, kosher salt, and ground black pepper. Stir to combine.
  3. Taste and adjust seasonings accordingly, adding more lime juice or salt if needed.
  4. Serve immediately with tortilla chips or fresh vegetables.

Notes

  • Use the ingredients as a guideline and adjust according to personal preference. I like a lot of lime and heat. If the guacamole tastes like it's "missing something," chances are that you need to add more acidity (lime) and/or salt. I prefer serrano peppers over jalapeños for a more consistent heat level.
