Ingredients

  • 3 whole Avocados (ripe)
  • 2 whole Plum Tomatoes (deseeded and 1/4 inch dice)
  • 3/4 cup Red Onion (about 1/2 a large onion and 1/4 inch dice))
  • 1 whole Jalapeño (deseeded and minced)
  • 1 clove Garlic (minced)
  • 1/4 Cup Chopped Cilantro
  • 2 whole Limes (zest from 1 lime and juice from both limes)
  • 1/2 tbsp Kosher Salt

Instructions

  • Slice the avocados in half and remove the pit. Scoop out the avocado flesh with a spoon, and place it in a large mixing bowl. Mash the avocados with a rubber spatula, a fork, or a masher until you reach your desired texture (smooth or chunky). I personally like to use my hands (with gloves on) to mash the avocados.
  • In a separate bowl, mix the tomatoes, red onion, jalapeño, garlic, cilantro, and zest from one of the limes.
  • Add the tomato mixture to the avocado mash but reserve 1/4 cup of the mix for topping the guacamole. Add in the juice from both of the limes and the Kosher salt into the guacamole. Mix everything together until everything is evenly distributed. Taste the guacamole to see if you need to adjust any of the seasonings (ie: salt or acidity)
  • Use a rubber spatula to transfer the guacamole into your serving bowl and top it with the remaining tomato mixture. Enjoy!
