Ingredients
3 large ripe avocados
1/4 cup white onion, finely minced
1/3 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1 jalapeno, seeds removed and minced
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
Place minced onions, cilantro, and jalapeno into a large bowl or molcajete.
Sprinkle with sea salt and mash with a spoon to release essential oils.
Slice avocados, remove pits, and scoop the flesh into the bowl.
Fold the avocado into the vegetable base using a fork, leaving some chunks for texture.
Drizzle with fresh lime juice.
Stir for five seconds to incorporate ingredients and serve immediately.
Notes
Use a molcajete if possible for the most authentic flavor extraction. Always use fresh lime juice instead of bottled for the best acidity. To keep guacamole from browning, serve immediately, or press plastic wrap directly onto the surface if storing briefly.
