What You Need to Make Classic Guacamole:

Ripe avocados, peeled and seed removed
Roma tomato, seeds removed and minced
Red onion, minced
Jalapeño, seeds removed and minced
Fresh cilantro, finely chopped
Lime juice
Sea salt
Ground black pepper

How to Make Classic Guacamole:

Prepare the Avocados: Begin by adding the peeled and seeded avocados to a bowl. Use a fork to gently smash the avocado, leaving some chunks for a bit of texture.
Mix in the Ingredients: Add the minced roma tomato, red onion, jalapeño, and cilantro to the bowl. Squeeze in the juice of half a lime, and sprinkle with sea salt and a pinch of ground black pepper. Mix everything together until well combined, but be careful not to over-mix so you retain some of the avocado chunks.
Serve and Enjoy: Your guacamole is ready to be enjoyed! Use it as a topping for tacos, a spread on sandwiches, or simply enjoy it with tortilla chips for a delicious snack.

Tips for the Best Guacamole:

Choosing Avocados: Make sure your avocados are ripe by gently pressing them. They should yield slightly under pressure but not feel too soft.
Customizing the Heat: If you like your guacamole spicier, leave some seeds in the jalapeño or add an extra half jalapeño to the mix.
Storage: To keep your guacamole fresh and prevent browning, press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the guacamole and store it in the refrigerator. It’s best enjoyed fresh, but it can be stored this way for up to 1-2 days.

This classic guacamole recipe is a versatile and delicious addition to any meal or snack time. Its creamy texture and fresh, zesty flavors are sure to make it a hit at any gathering!
